Company Profile:
IRS Mission: 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.
The IRS mission statement defines our identity and sets our agenda for the next four years. Achieving the IRS mission is critical for our nation, providing the revenue that funds our Government.
Our mission reflects two principles that underlie our work. First, the tax system works best when citizens have access to services that facilitate their voluntary compliance with tax law. Second, the IRS has an obligation to enforce the tax law and pursue those who seek gains through noncompliance, including fraud. It is essential that each of our employees dedicates his or her daily efforts towards achieving these dual parts of our mission. While particular situations we confront may vary by person and over time, it is essential that our entire organization stays focused on the central role that we play in the efficient administration of the Federal Government.
Our mission statement is complemented by a vision for the IRS, describing the longer-term outcomes that we seek to achieve by fulfilling our mission.
In the daily execution of our mission, we will enable taxpayers to easily meet their obligations, collect accurate revenue and be seen as trustworthy and highly competent. We recognize that maintaining a strong tax administration system requires organizational excellence driven by exceptional employees, leading technology and the support of our partner organizations.
