Joint Enterprise Tax Calculator Solution (JETCS) Request for Information (RFI) Notice

Background
In August 2022, Congress enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which has had a significant impact on the Department of Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and its ability to serve the public. This act provides the IRS with a historic opportunity to transform the administration of the tax system and improve the services provided to taxpayers. The IRA aims to address the tax gap and ensure the fairness of the tax system. It provides for long-term funding to the IRS allowing for technology upgrades, retiring of outdated legacy Information Technology (IT) systems, and investments in new technology to enable real-time data and analytics to improve customer experience and drive productivity.

Work Details
The Joint Enterprise Tax Calculator Solution (JETCS) project is an IRS IT procurement conducted jointly with IRS Business Operating Divisions (BODs) and Enterprise Case Management (ECM). The acquired tax calculator solution will provide an accurate tax calculator integrated with existing systems in the IRS IT ecosystem and high-volume and multi-user manual and automated IRS workflows and processes. The solution will also support IRS examiners’ need for a calculator via a standalone user interface (UI). The IRS envisions the tax calculator solution integrating with IRS systems through its use of standard Application Programming Interface (API) architectures.
