š The IRS is increasing its focus on taxpayers who havenāt filed required tax returns.
A recent report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) found that potential non-filers increased by 5.9 million from 2015 to 2022. For tax year 2022 alone, about $63 billion of the federal tax gap was estimated to be attributable to non-filers. The IRS says it plans to use more analytics, automation, AI, reminder notices, and early outreach to identify non-filers sooner. The agency specifically noted that earlier contact can help taxpayers avoid penalties and resolve filing issues before stronger enforcement action is taken.
