The American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) has weighed in on the 2026 tax filing season. In a recent letter to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, it largely commended the IRS’s performance but mentioned that phone services were somewhat inconsistent. The AICPA letter also recommended ways the IRS can improve in future filing seasons. Specific ideas include enlisting the Joint Committee on Taxation to report biannually on the state of the federal tax system, hiring more professionals from the private sector and using taxpayer surveys to assess IRS performance.
