Simpler tax rules. Better digital tools. Stronger fraud protection. Those are just some of the priorities highlighted in the newly released Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee (ETAAC) 2026 report to the IRS and Congress. (ETAAC members represent taxpayers, tax professionals, tax software developers, payroll service providers, the financial industry, and state and local governments.) The committee’s recommendations focus on technology modernization, AI-powered taxpayer services, digital filing and payments, tax simplification, and sustained IRS funding. The intention is to help create a more efficient, secure and accessible tax experience for individuals and businesses.
