The IRS should implement more than two dozen past and new top recommendations by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the GAO said in a recent letter to the agency.
The letter follows up on the GAO’s previous top recommendations in audit reports to the IRS. As of May 2022, the IRS had yet to open 268 recommendations from the GAO. The GAO classified 25 of them as priorities.
The GAO divides the recommendations into six categories: improving taxpayer services; reducing tax fraud and improper payments; improving cybersecurity; enhancing information reporting; improving audit effectiveness; and enhancing IRS staffing and personnel management. Learn more.
