Join us for a networking lunch, followed by a keynote discussion of the impact on current IRS operations as a result of a federal workforce hiring freeze, the evaporation of $80 billion in supplemental funding and new IRS leadership. The IRS is at a historic crossroads in its efforts to modernize its systems to improve levels of service, administer and enforce the nation’s tax laws and reverse years of (until recently) declining staff levels. The IRS’s former Commissioner and Acting Chief of Staff will provide context and background on the many challenges ahead and discuss the opportunities they present.
