WASHINGTON ? The Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council (IRSAC) today issued its annual report for 2022, including recommendations to the IRS on new and continuing issues in tax administration.

The 2022 Public Report includes recommendations on 21 issues covering a broad range of topics including:

Five subgroups report to the parent council:

??Information Reporting
??Large Business & International
??Small Business/Self-Employed
