IRS moves ahead on tax systems modernization
Article Abstract:
The IRS is set to update its tax processing systems through a modernization program jointly undertaken with the General Accounting Office (GAO). Through the Tax Systems Modernization program, the IRS intends to address the problems that have been hampering its efforts to increase the efficiency of its tax processes and facilitate the efficient delivery of services to taxpayers. For its part, the GAO has identified eight key areas where the IRS has to focus its efforts to facilitate the successful implementation of the TSM program. The IRS has also implemented a system for project tracking, developed a new process for the recruitment and training of qualified personnel, and is finding ways to improve the security features of its collection and processing systems.

IRS expands electronic filing and alternatives
Article Abstract:
The IRS is developing alternative methods to paper and electronic filing of individual tax returns that enable tax preparers to improve client service. Two innovations now available are the new 1040PC Format tax return and the Paper Input Processed as Electronic Returns (PIPER) project. THe 1040PC Format is a simple data sheet method of filing, while PIPER allows returns to be prepared by tax preparers for processing through the Electronic Filing System of the IRS. Both methods allow tax prepares to purchase uncomplicated, cost-effective tax preparation software that prepare scannable returns.
