  • This will improve IRS service by eliminating errors from manually inputting data from paper returns, speeding up processing, and delivering refunds four weeks sooner.

  • Additionally, 150 of the most used non-tax forms will be available in digital, mobile-friendly formats, and up to 1 billion historical documents will be digitized, providing taxpayers access to their data and saving approximately $40 million in storage costs annually.
