One complicating factor in implementing IRS's plans in the immediate future is the recent passage of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, which creates additional, unanticipated workload for IRS. GAO was asked to (1) assess how the President's budget request for IRS allocates resources and justifies proposed initiatives; (2) determine the status of IRS's efforts to develop and implement its Business Systems Modernization (BSM) program; and (3) determine the total costs of administering the economic stimulus legislation. To meet these objectives, GAO drew upon and updated recently issued reports. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-620T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-620T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-620T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-620T.pdf GAO-08-620T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-620T Testimony GAO-08-620T; Internal Revenue Service: Assessment of the Fiscal Year 2009 Budget Request; Allocation (Government accounting) Budget activities Budget outlays Cost analysis Economic growth Economic policies Future budget projections Information management Information systems Internal controls Presidential budgets Strategic planning Tax administration Tax administration systems Tax expenditures budgets Taxpayers Budget requests Business planning Business transformation Cost estimates Public Law 110-185
