Connectivity That Counts
Technology and You!

A Modernized Internal Revenue Service

The modernized IRS will be guided by five principles:

• Understand and solve problems from the tax-payer's point of view
• Expect managers to be accountable
• Use balanced measures of performance
• Foster open, honest communications
• Insist on total integrity

The goals of the modernized IRS will reflect the new focus on taxpayers as customers. The goals are:

• Service to each taxpayer by making filing easier and providing first quality service to every taxpayer
• Service to all taxpayers by serving the American taxpaying public to increase overall compliance
• Productivity through a quality work environment

Achieving this modernized IRS will require significant changes in four separate areas:

• Revamped business practices
• Balanced measures of performance
• Management roles with clear responsibility
• New technology

The IRS and You -
