IRS customer service would get a major overhaul, making it easier to deal with taxes.

This bill would make it simpler and faster for everyday Americans to interact with the IRS. It would modernize how the IRS handles tax returns and questions, offer more online tools, and provide better protections for taxpayers, including those facing financial hardship. It also sets new standards for tax preparers and expands the Tax Court's ability to hear small disputes.

What Would Change

Today, taxpayers often face long wait times when calling the IRS and limited online tools for managing their tax information. Paper returns and correspondence are processed manually, which can lead to delays. After this bill, the IRS would offer real-time online dashboards for wait times, expanded online accounts for viewing and responding to documents, and digitized processing for all paper submissions, making interactions more efficient and transparent.

Key Provisions

Requires the IRS to digitize all paper tax returns and correspondence, and process electronic returns electronically.
Would create a public website dashboard showing real-time IRS phone wait times and processing backlogs for various types of tax documents.
Would let taxpayers view and respond to IRS documents and notices online through a website or mobile app.
Eliminates fees for certain low-income taxpayers who set up payment plans with the IRS.
Increases penalties and sets new standards for tax return preparers, including denying or revoking identification numbers for misconduct.
Raises the limit for small tax disputes in Tax Court from $50,000 to $100,000, with future inflation adjustments.
