The IRS Oversight Board is pleased to have the opportunity to report to the President, Congress, and taxpayers on the progress the IRS is making in achieving its mission: to provide America’s taxpayers top-quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and enforce the law with integrity and fairness to all.
