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 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.
