chuck rettig has been commissioner of the internal revenue service for just over a year, but he has behind him 36 years of experience as a tax professional.<\/p>\n

that experience includes the experience of trying to get answers out of the irs, waiting on hold, struggling to make sense of tens of thousands of pages of tax rules and rulings, and dealing with mid-season pronouncements. he knows how it is.
\n
\nhe knows how it is inside the irs, too. in his first year on the job, he had to implement the tax cuts and jobs act that went into effect on the heels of last year\u2019s government shutdown, which happened to hit just as the tax season was getting under way. it wasn\u2019t an easy year for the irs or the nation\u2019s tax preparers, but somehow the taxes got collected and the nation is still a going concern.<\/p>\n

this year, rettig has a chance \u2013 and a mandate \u2013 to do something about irs performance. the taxpayer first act, signed into law on july 1, 2019, requires the irs to submit to congress, by the end of fy 2020, a comprehensive proposal to redesign the organization to better support america\u2019s taxpayers.<\/p>\n

officially, the service hasn\u2019t been redesigned since the restructuring and reform act of 1998. in reality, however, the agency has been suffering a continuous and perpetual restructuring necessitated by budget cuts. information systems have become precariously obsolete, taxpayer assistance centers have been shuttered, scams have proliferated and staff levels have been slashed. between 2010 and 2019, the irs lost more than 29,618 full-time employees.<\/p>\n

78,000 ambassadors<\/strong><\/p>\n

today, the irs has 78,000 employees \u2013 or, as rettig calls them, \u201cirs ambassadors\u201d \u2013 including 12,600 temporary and seasonal ambassadors. they have to handle 255 million federal tax returns and forms that generate $3.6 trillion in tax revenues. enforcement collection reached $57.5 billion in fy 2019.<\/p>\n

in the next five years, up to 31 percent of irs employees are likely to retire. that\u2019s almost 20,000 professionals taking decades of experience and knowledge out the door \u2013 a huge loss that newer, younger staff will be hard put to replace.<\/p>\n

so the irs has every need to restructure. it needs up-to-snuff technology. it needs staff reoriented to work within budgetary constraints. it needs to make enforcement credible. it needs to deal with a hyperdynamic economy.<\/p>\n

six goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

while the need to restructure is dire, the current deficiencies are also future opportunities, the proverbial empty glass that can be filled. now is the time, and here is the irs\u2019s 2018-2022 strategic plan, presented as six general goals:<\/p>\n
