The Internal Revenue Service switched over from focusing its audits on taxpayers earning $10 million or more to those earning $400,000 or more after passage of the Inflation Reduction Act.

The Internal Revenue Service has caught up on much of the pile of unprocessed tax returns, but it's still not back to normal.

The service’s recent policies expedited the hiring of new employees, but prolonged delays in eligibility verification could increase the risk of exposure of taxpayer data, according to a new report.

A congressional appropriations committee wants to give the Internal Revenue Service $1 billion more in funding to improve taxpayer service and technology and make the overall tax system fairer.

The service decided to destroy the documents in March 2021 because of its inability to process its backlog of paper tax returns, according to a new report.

A new TIGTA report warns, however, that many didn’t follow the rules and could face potential tax penalties.

Private collection agencies that have contracted with the Internal Revenue Service to collect overdue tax debts have collected nearly $500 million since 2017, according to a new report, but that’s just a fraction of the over $30 billion owed.
