Activities

Activity 1: Meet with the IRS to discuss the feasibility of providing taxpayers with access via an online account to their tax information in a downloadable format that taxpayers can upload to the tax return software of their choice. Explore and consider the benefits and burdens of a legislative recommendation to move up the March 15 information e-filing deadline that would allow the IRS to include Form 1099 information in a taxpayer’s online account earlier in the filing season.

Activity 2: Form a working group with the IRS to develop strategies for removing barriers, both behavioral and systemic, that contribute to the decision of many business and individual taxpayers to paper file.
