SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Wage and Investment Strategies
and Solutions Behavioral Laboratory
Customer Surveys and Support.
OMB Number: 1545–2274.
Regulatory Number: N/A.
Abstract: As outlined in the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) Strategic Plan,
the Agency is working towards
allocating IRS resources strategically to
address the evolving scope and
increasing complexity of tax
administration. In order to do this, IRS
must realize their operational
efficiencies and effectively manage costs
by improving enterprise-wide resource
SUMMARY:

allocation and streamlining processes
using feedback from various behavioral
research techniques. To assist the
Agency is accomplishing the goal
outlined in the Strategic Plan, the Wage
and Investment Division continuously
maintains a ‘‘customer-first’’ focus
through routinely soliciting information
concerning the needs and characteristics
of its customers and implementing
programs based on the information
received. W&I Strategies and Solutions
(WISS), is developing the
implementation of a Behavioral
Laboratory to identify, plan and deliver
business improvement processes that
support fulfillment of the IRS strategic
goals. The collection of information
through the Behavioral Laboratory is
necessary to enable the Agency to garner
customer and stakeholder feedback in
an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the commitment to
improving taxpayer service delivery.
Improving agency programs requires
ongoing assessment of service delivery.
WISS, through the Behavioral
Laboratory, will collect, analyze, and
interpret information gathered through
this generic clearance to identify
strengths and weaknesses of current
services and make improvements in
service delivery based on feedback
provided by taxpayers and employees of
the Internal Revenue Service.
Current Actions: The IRS will be
revising and replacing various surveys.
The survey scope is expanded to
include burden for surveys associated
with all taxpayer segments. This effort
represents a continuation of the IRS’s
strategy to gather taxpayer burden data
for all types of tax returns and
information reporting documents in
order to support Wage and Investment’s
OMB Improvement Strategy to
transition burden estimates for all
taxpayers to the preferred RAAS burden
estimation methodology. These surveys
will allow RAAS to update and validate
the IRS Taxpayer Burden Model which
will be used to provide estimates for
consolidated taxpayer segments, like
what is currently done for OMB
numbers 1545–0074, 1545–0123, and
1545–0047.
