The Internal Revenue Service is a dynamic organization that is constantly seeking new
ways to further its mission of helping taxpayers comply with the tax law. The past year has been even more challenging than most, forcing a change in work routines and additional responsibilities to implement various stimulus initiatives. Recent proposals to dramatically increase the IRS budget will revitalize the IRS and support its modernization efforts. In this program, senior IRS executives discuss emerging compliance trends and how the IRS charts policy, makes decisions, and works synergistically to address non-compliance.
