Additionally, the IRS Act includes measures to streamline the tax filing process, such as simplifying tax forms and instructions, and improving the IRS's online services to make it easier for taxpayers to file their taxes electronically.

Overall, the IRS Act seeks to modernize and improve the operations of the IRS in order to better serve taxpayers and ensure that the tax system is fair and efficient. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its ultimate fate will depend on the outcome of the legislative process.
