Subject of Challenge Competition
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Tax information is available to
taxpayers across multiple IRS channels
and contains a wealth of information.
Many taxpayers, however, might not
know where to find this information or
how to use it, as much of this

easier for taxpayers to manage their
taxpayer responsibilities, and to use
their own taxpayer data to make
informed and effective decisions about
their personal finances?
