The IRS plan to let taxpayers digitally submit documents is ahead of schedule, Janet Yellen says

Published Mon, 25 Nov 2024 05:05:48 GMT

Yellen’s speech is intended to signal that the infusion of cash for the IRS over 10 years included in the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act is working. “Taxpayers will save time and effort,” she says, as people can begin submitting their documents now, instead of waiting until the originally planned time frame of early next year.The IRS plan f...
