NEWSLETTER: How the Inflation Reduction Act is Making Tax filing Easier

A MESSAGE FROM CONGRESSMAN HOYER

When Democrats worked with President Biden to enact the Inflation Reduction Act, we did so to lower every day costs for families and shore up economic opportunity. Included in this landmark legislation were measures that made the tax code fairer after Republicans targeted working families in their Tax Scam legislation in 2017. With the Inflation Reduction Act, taxpayers will see much-needed improvements to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to modernize its operations. Many of these changes will tackle challenges including faster processing times of returns and quicker distribution of credits.

These changes have already begun, and just this week the IRS has hired employees to service taxpayers across the country and Maryland. With the additional staff, the IRS will be able to provide even greater customer service to those in need of assistance getting their taxes filed on time. The IRS has also moved to fully staff the 361 Taxpayer Assistance Centers nationwide to provide in-person help. To find a center near you, click here, and to make a virtual appointment with the Taxpayer Assistance Center, click office or connecting with me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. If you are need of assistance, such as with help accessing veterans' benefits or have another issue regarding a federal agency, and you wish for my office to place an inquiry on your behalf, please complete the casework request form by clicking here.

Sincerely Yours,

Steny H. Hoyer
