  2. Increase the electronic disbursement rate for IRS individual tax refunds to 80.7% in FY 2025 compared with 79.7% in FY 2023.

  3. Increase the electronic collection rate for IRS individual and business tax receipts to 85.0% in FY 2025 compared with 83.0% in FY 2023.

*Increasing the percentage of non-tax disbursements and tax refund disbursements made electronically will convert an estimated 4.5 million paper checks to electronic during FY 2024 and FY 2025.

World Class Customer Service

  1. Enhance Online Account features to provide greater payment functionality for individual and business taxpayers and their authorized representatives.
    1. Increase the number of payments being made by taxpayers through their IRS online account by 4%.
  2. Expand digitalization efforts to enable taxpayers to securely resolve issues by digitally sharing correspondence, forms, and responses to notices via computer or smart device
    1. Achieving this expansion will enable taxpayers to e-File 20 additional tax forms resulting in up to 4 million additional tax documents to be filed digitally every year.
    2. Achieving this expansion will enable up to 125 million paper documents to be submitted digitally per year.
  3. Expand taxpayer outreach and education by increasing partnerships within the tax ecosystem and expand the provision of free tax return preparation through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs for traditionally underserved communities. Expansion would result in:
    1. An increase of 5% in returns prepared by VITA and TCE volunteers.
    2. An approximate 10% increase in IRS outreach activities being held in traditionally underserved communities.
