*2.? Key milestone reached by Document Upload Tool with 1 million submissions received*

________________________________________________________________________

The IRS announced that the Document Upload Tool [ [link removed] ] (DUT) has accepted the one millionth taxpayer submission, marking another significant milestone in IRS transformation efforts. More than 265,000 taxpayers have used the tool during the first six months of this fiscal year, and the number continues to grow.

?The Document Upload Tool is a key part of our ambitious initiative to transform the IRS into a virtually paperless agency, and we continue to see increased use of this by taxpayers,? said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. ?This tool saves time for taxpayers and helps IRS employees process responses faster and more efficiently. A growing number of taxpayers are using their smart phones or computers to scan and upload their responses to IRS correspondence, rather than the more time-consuming option of writing a letter or mailing in documents.?

*3.? New guidance on payments to victims impacted by Ohio train disaster*

________________________________________________________________________

The IRS issued guidance concerning case payments received by individuals affected by last year?s train derailment [ [link removed] ] in East Palestine, Ohio. Notice 2024-46 [ [link removed] ] explains that the Feb. 3, 2023, derailment qualifies as ?an event of a catastrophic nature.? Therefore, various payments made to affected individuals by the common carrier that operated the derailed train are ?qualified disaster relief payments,? which, by law, are excluded from gross income. The exclusion from taxation is available to individual taxpayers in cases where the costs reimbursed by insurance or other sources are not offset by the qualified disaster relief payments provided by the common carrier. Additional information may be found on the East Palestine train derailment frequently asked questions [ [link removed] ] webpage.?
