IRS website

The IRS has a new, redesigned, website debuting last week with “a fresh look, enhanced search capabilities, and easy access to tools for both the general public and tax professionals.” (See announcement)

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has also released its assessment of the Internal Revenue Service’s 2005 filing season performance, in which IRS’s previous website was praised. The report did, however, recommend that “IRS develop better information about the costs of mandatory electronic filing of tax returns for certain categories of tax practitioners and
establish a schedule for developing its long-term goals,” to which the Internal Revenue Service agreed.
