Improving IRS Customer Service: Digital Accounts, Backlog Transparency, and Callbacks.
This Act aims to significantly enhance taxpayer interaction with the IRS by increasing transparency and digitizing services. Citizens will gain access to a public dashboard detailing tax return processing backlogs and phone wait times, along with the ability to view and respond to IRS documents online. Furthermore, the IRS must implement a callback service for calls waiting over 10 minutes and establish a program to identify taxpayers facing economic hardship, offering them alternative collection options.
