The funding provided by IRA will improve how IRS serves the public and tax professionals. The long-term funding will enable IRS to update technology capabilities and invest in our employees with new tools, skills and capabilities, and to effectively enforce the tax laws Shortly after IRA’s enactment, the Department of the Treasury and the IRS developed a Strategic Operating Plan.
