The impact of the Taxpayer First Act (TFA)
Signed into law on July 1, 2019, the Taxpayer First Act was designed to improve customer interactions with the IRS. Already facing challenges during a precarious moment in our nation’s pandemic, the IRS needed to quickly develop an effective response. The Maximus team quickly stepped in to modernize operations, streamlining systems and workflows, enhancing the management of IT and use of electronic systems. We understand that advanced technologies mixed with best practices will deliver the next generation of customer service to the IRS.

Simplifying IT modernization for the IRS
Implementing modernization initiatives in a complex infrastructure is difficult, challenging, and, in some cases, risky. With tax legislation changing every year, those changes create impacts throughout the systems that tax filers trust to process refunds effectively. Modernizing these systems, while doing annual updates for legislative changes and processing tax forms, is, to steal an old cliché, like modernizing a plane while in flight. The approach IRS has taken is what we refer to as pragmatic modernization.

Focused on more than technology
In the past decade, agencies like the IRS have laid the groundwork for transitioning from legacy technology to new, cloud-based technologies such as RPA (robotic process automation) and AI (artificial intelligence). When agencies embrace IT modernization projects, it’s not merely about the technology. Having a deep understanding of the people and business processes ultimately makes these projects successful. Innovation is the confluence of people and leading-edge technology to drive better outcomes.
