Taxpayer Assistance and Service Act Aims to Modernize IRS Administration
The Taxpayer Assistance and Service Act (TAS) is a proposed bipartisan legislation introduced by Senators Mike Crapo and Ron Wyden. The act focuses on improving IRS administration, taxpayer service, and digital access, without altering tax rates or deductions. The Senate Finance Committee has approved a revised version of the legislation with a strong bipartisan vote. The TAS Act includes over 60 proposals aimed at enhancing transparency, efficiency, and taxpayer rights within the IRS. Key provisions include expanding electronic filing capabilities, improving online taxpayer accounts, and increasing transparency in IRS operations.
