Letter from the Commissioner

I"m pleased to present the Fiscal Year

2022 Internal Revenue Service Data

Book. This document is designed to

provide a window into the important work IRS employees have performed during the past year to help taxpayers, ensure fair enforcement of tax laws, and maintain the integrity of our tax system.

Sharing this data will give readers

insights into the broad scope of our work. The IRS"s activities each year reect the importance of the agency and our workforce to the nation. The

IRS collects approximately $4.9 trillion

in gross revenues and generates about

96 percent of the funding that supports

the federal government"s operations.

The hard work of our dedicated em-

ployees makes it possible for the gov- ernment to perform its vital functions and fund our nation on everything from education to defense.

During Fiscal Year (FY) 2022, we car-

ried out our tax administration work as

IRS employees processed more than

262.8 million tax returns and other forms, including nearly 160.6 million

individual income tax returns. We also continued to implement the sweeping changes enacted by Congress to help

Americans affected by the COVID-19

pandemic. Early in the scal year, we completed delivery of the third round of Economic Impact Payments, bring- ing the total relief to taxpayers to more than $815 billion. We also wrapped up disbursement of advance monthly pay- ments of the Child Tax Credit. Eligible families received a total of $93 billion in advance payments between July and

December 2021, almost $47.3 billion of

which was distributed during FY 2022.

We continued our efforts to enhance

service for all taxpayers, including people in diverse and under-served communities. Building upon our ef- forts in FY 2021 to provide improved assistance to taxpayers in multiple languages by providing Form 1040 in Spanish for the first time, in FY

2022, we completed conversion of 34

Spanish notice inserts to Braille, text,

audio, and large print versions. In addi- tion, the IRS converted Form 1040 and its main schedules into Spanish Braille, text, and large print. We"ve done the same for Forms 1040-NR, 1040-SR,

W-4, and six IRS publications. We

translated the Instructions for Form

8821, Tax Information Authorization,

into traditional Chinese, and expanded social media outreach and web con- tent in Chinese (simplied and tradi- tional), Korean, Russian, Vietnamese and Haitian Creole.

Knowing the difculties of providing

immediate assistance in person or on the telephone to many customers due to continued pandemic-related challenges, we conducted extensive outreach to educate taxpayers about the tools and guidance available on

IRS.gov. After several record-breaking

years, our website trafc still topped

1 billion visits in FY 2022, including

more than 447.7 million inquiries on our

“Where"s My Refund?" online tool that

enables taxpayers to check the status of their tax refund.

During FY 2022, another important

agency focus was working to reduce vii paper correspondence inventory and processing paper tax returns from 2021, as well as improve our response to an unprecedented level of phone demand - situations that were compounded by the pandemic and related issues. We implemented surge teams and mandatory over- time, gave taxpayers increased ac- cess to online self-service tools and employed innovative approaches to expedite case closures and suspend various notices. We made signicant progress toward reducing inventory during FY 2022, which has continued into FY 2023. These efforts laid the groundwork for a successful start to the 2023 lingseason.

Our commitment to fairness and

maintaining a visible, robust tax en- forcement presence to appropriately support taxpayers remains strong.

During FY 2022, we continued to

develop and utilize innovative ap- proaches to better understand, detect, and resolve potential noncompliance to maintain taxpayer condence in our tax system, such as leveraging new technology and data analytics to fairly enforce the tax laws. Our comprehen- sive and coordinated enforcement strategy has shown success. We"ve also seen success in our investiga- tions of criminal activity related to

COVID-19 relief efforts, including

cases involving fraudulently obtained loans, credits, and payments meant for U.S. workers, families, and small businesses.

Furthermore, we remain committed

to nding new ways to serve taxpay- ers and improve how our tax system works for them. Our work to transform the IRS and build a stronger, more modern organization for the next generation continued to move forward during FY 2022, and we are condent this journey will pay signicant divi- dends over time. Our new Taxpayer

Experience Office, established in

2021, has been setting the strategic

direction to identify opportunities to make continuous improvements in real time for taxpayers and tax professionals. These efforts are be- ing combined into work underway in 2023 to plan the future of the agency made possible by the historic funding provided by the In?ation Reduction

Act of 2022.

The funding provided under the

In?ation Reduction Act is a once-in-

a-generation opportunity for the IRS to transform itself. This transformation is critical to the future of our agency and our nation, and the benets will be important for IRS employees, indi- vidual taxpayers, businesses, the tax community, tax-exempt organizations, and many others.quotesdbs_dbs14.pdfusesText_20
