The bill also calls for the IRS to regularly report to Congress on its progress in implementing the customer service strategy.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions aimed at improving the training and performance management of IRS employees who interact with taxpayers. This includes requirements for ongoing training and performance evaluations to ensure that employees are equipped to provide high-quality customer service. Overall, the IRS Customer Service Improvement Act is intended to address the longstanding issues with customer service at the IRS and ensure that taxpayers are able to receive the assistance they need in a timely and efficient manner. The bill has garnered bipartisan support in Congress and is seen as a positive step towards improving the overall experience for taxpayers dealing with the IRS.
