Treas IRS - Jetcs Jios P&I Calc - MRAS

The Department of the Treasury (TREAS), in collaboration with the General Services Administration (GSA), is conducting market research to explore solutions for a Penalty and Interest Calculator designed for Business Return Tax Forms. This initiative is part of the broader Joint Enterprise Tax Calculator System (JETCS) program, which aims to establish common services within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to enhance tax calculation processes. The JETCS program focuses on creating seamless orchestration and integration across a diverse IRS IT ecosystem, facilitating complex tax calculations in support of multiple domains such as intake, compliance, and case management.

The primary objective of this solicitation is to acquire a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Penalty and Interest Calculation solution that will be integrated into the JETCS Integration and Orchestration Service (JIOS). This integration layer allows various IRS applications, including Enterprise Case Management (ECM), to utilize tailored tax calculators for precise computations based on current tax laws and complex scenarios. The new solution will initially serve ECM's calculation needs before expanding to provide standardized services across the IRS.

The scope of work involves establishing a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution that supports penalty and interest calculations for several business return forms, including Forms 1041, 1065, 706, 1120, and 1120-S. The proposed system aims to improve accuracy, speed up processing times, ensure consistency in calculations, and reduce redundancy. By leveraging modernized data sources and advanced APIs within JIOS, this initiative seeks not only to enhance audit accuracy but also to support the IRS's mission of providing top-quality taxpayer services while enforcing tax laws with integrity.
