Taxpayers will be able to submit all sorts of tax documents and other communications to the IRS digitally months earlier than originally planned under a new timetable for paperless taxpayer communications announced Tuesday by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
“The impact will be significant and far-reaching,” Yellen says in a speech prepared for delivery at IRS headquarters in Washington, "and we’ll speed up processing times for the system as a whole.”
The IRS has endured decades of underfunding and been overloaded with paper documents that prevented the agency from processing tax forms at a faster pace. Yellen's speech is intended to signal that the infusion of cash for the IRS over 10 years included in the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act is working.
“Taxpayers will save time and effort," she says, as people can begin submitting their documents now, instead of waiting until the originally planned time frame of early next year. The IRS plan for customer service improvements for the 2024 filing season comes against the backdrop of a series of proposals by congressional Republicans to reduce its funding.Under the initiative, most people will be able to submit everything but their tax returns digitally in 2024. As the IRS pilots its new electronic free file tax return system starting in 2024, the agency will be able to process everything, including tax returns, digitally by 2025.
The IRS cutback would cost taxpayers billions of dollars, not save money, according to independent budget analysts.
