2023 Post-filing season update
2023 Tax filing season ends; all eyes on Strategic Operating Plan
After years of pandemic-related issues plaguing the Internal Revenue Service (with some backlog issues still lingering), the 2023 tax filing season was a relatively quiet one, with the biggest news coming as the season drew to a close – the release of the Strategic Operating Plan that reveals how the agency will spend the nearly $80 billion allocated to it by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
The generally quiet tax season also saw the release of green energy tax-related guidance, both for buildings and vehicles, as well as a new program for service industry workers to report tips and guidance on excise taxes for corporate stock buybacks.
Strategic Operating Plan
The Strategic Operating Plan was released April 6, 2023, after missing the deadline for its release as outlined in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, but the delay was presumably due to the transition of leadership at the IRS, with Daniel Werfel officially sworn in on April 4, 2023, after being confirmed by the Senate on March 9, 2023.
