IRS Faces Challenges with Centralized Authorization File Processing Delays

IRS Faces Challenges with Centralized Authorization File Processing Delays

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is experiencing significant delays in processing authorizations through its Centralized Authorization File (CAF) system, which is crucial for tax professionals to access taxpayer data. These delays have become a major bottleneck, affecting the ability of tax professionals to represent clients efficiently. Historically, CAF processing was expected to take five days or less, but current times range from one to over 26 days. The volume of authorizations has surged, with nearly 7 million filed in 2025 alone, exacerbating the issue. The IRS has introduced Business CAF to streamline processes, but challenges remain, including barriers to access and lack of automation.

Congressman Introduces Bill to Autofill Tax Forms, Aiming to Simplify Filing Process

Congressman Introduces Bill to Autofill Tax Forms, Aiming to Simplify Filing Process

Rep. Bill Foster, D-Illinois, has introduced the Autofill Act, a legislative proposal designed to streamline the tax filing process for Americans. The bill proposes a voluntary program where taxpayers can access a secure IRS website to download tax forms prepopulated with information already collected by the IRS from employers, the Social Security Administration, and financial institutions. This initiative aims to replace the Direct File program, which was discontinued by the Trump administration. The Autofill Act would be available to taxpayers of all income levels and would not depend on commercial tax preparation companies. The proposal follows a Government Accountability Office report that highlighted the success of the Direct File program during its pilot phase in 12 states, despite challenges in IRS staffing and coordination.

Treasury Official John Hurley Expected to Move to OECD Post Amid White House Clash

Treasury Official John Hurley Expected to Move to OECD Post Amid White House Clash

John Hurley, a former undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence at the U.S. Treasury Department, is anticipated to be nominated as the U.S. representative to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This development follows Hurley's departure from his Treasury role in February after reportedly clashing with the White House over privacy concerns related to federal monitoring of international payments from Minnesota's Somali immigrant community. Hurley, a former hedge fund executive and Army veteran, had raised these concerns with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, which put him at odds with White House officials prioritizing a crackdown on alleged fraud. The OECD, based in Paris, is an intergovernmental organization focused on promoting economic growth among democracies with market-based economies.

IRS Whistleblower Program Faces Overhaul Following Bipartisan House Vote

IRS Whistleblower Program Faces Overhaul Following Bipartisan House Vote

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bipartisan bill aimed at reforming the IRS whistleblower program, which has been instrumental in recovering billions from noncompliant taxpayers. Sponsored by Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Pa., the IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act seeks to modify the standard for reviewing whistleblower award determinations in the U.S. Tax Court, allowing new evidence during appeals. It also proposes anonymity for whistleblowers unless societal interest dictates otherwise and mandates interest on certain payments if the IRS fails to meet award recommendation deadlines. The bill, which passed with a 346-10 vote, is now headed to the Senate. The IRS has reported collecting approximately $7.5 billion from protected disclosures since 2007, with over $1.3 billion awarded to whistleblowers. The National Whistleblower Center and the National Taxpayers Union have endorsed the legislation, highlighting its potential to revitalize the program.
