2001 Filing Season Begins;
IRS Expands E-Filing,
Emphasizes Free
Taxpayer Help
Washington - From a
new paperless e-filing op-
tion to expanded customer
service features, taxpayers
will find more and easier
ways to get help from the
Internal Revenue Service
during this year’s tax fil-
ing season.
This week marks the be-
ginning of2001 filing sea-
son. More than 40 million
tax packages have started
arriving in mailboxes
across the nation.
The tax packages and
forms reflect the small
number of tax law changes
for 2000. But the IRS has
made a number of im-
provements aimed at mak-
ing this tax season
smoother for people filing
an estimated 130 million
individual returns this
year.
“The IRS has stream-
lined several important ar-
eas to reduce paperwork
and cut red tape,” IRS
Commissioner Charles O.
Rossotti said. “We are de-
termined to improve ser-
vice and take as much of
the headache out of tax
time as possible.”
This year the IRS will
help taxpayers by:
• Expanding e-filing -
For the first time, millions
of taxpayers can file taxes
electronically without
submitting any paper-
work. This new Version of
paperless filing will be
available to taxpayers who
self-select a Personal
Identification Number.
The Self-Select PIN -
along with the adjusted
gross income and tax
amounts from last year’s
tax return - will serve as
an electronic signature for
an e-filed tax return. With
this option, a paper form
for a signature will no
longer be needed.
• Adding a new
checkbox disclosure au-
thorization. - A new fea-
ture on the tax forms will
be a checkbox allowing
easier communication be-
tween a person’s tax
preparer and the IRS.
Taxpayers may check this
box to authorize the IRS
to discuss processing
problems over the phone
directly with a person’s
paid preparer.
With more than half of
tax returns coming from
paid preparers, this
change eliminates a bar-
rier that slowed communi-
cation between taxpayers,
practitioners and the IRS.
Because the IRS can talk
directly to practitioners,
the checkbox will reduce
the number of IRS letters
to taxpayers.
• Improving Telephone
Service - The IRS is put-
ting in place an improved
call routing system that
will lead to more effi-
ciency and help more tax-
payers get better tele-
phone service. This is one
of the highest priorities
during the IRS reorganiza-
tion and modernization
effort. More work re-
mains, but the IRS is tak-
ing steps forward to pro-
vide better telephone ser-
vice.
“These changes add up
to making things easier for
taxpayers,” Rossotti said.
“We still have more work
to do, but we are making
progress in our effort to
provide world-class ser-
vice.”
