The IRS has released its 2021 annual report illustrating the Service’s work delivering taxpayer service and compliance efforts during COVID-19 while spotlighting actions taken by IRS employees to help people during the challenging year. “Internal Revenue Service Progress Update / Fiscal Year 2020 – Putting Taxpayers First“ outlines how the IRS overcame difficulties during the pandemic to deliver Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) promptly.

Developed new online portals for individuals to check on their pandemic-related relief payments and make updates to their personal information.
Offered a new online option for tax professionals to obtain signatures from individual and business clients and submit authorization forms electronically. Tax pros also now have an online account option, with new features being added.
