Internal Revenue Service Data Book, 2025

Letter from the Chief Executive Officer

I’m pleased to present the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Internal

Revenue Service Data Book, an overview of the agency’s

operations during the past year. The data included in this

book reflect the broad scope of the IRS’s work and its importance to the nation in providing the funds that support

the federal government’s ability to perform its vital functions.

As important as phone and in-person assistance are,

taxpayers continued to show their preference for online

services. There were nearly 417 million inquiries on our

popular “Where’s My Refund?” online tool that enables

taxpayers to check the status of their tax refund—up 9

percent from FY 2024.

For the IRS, FY 2025 was a pivotal year, as we began the

process of implementing tax relief for working families enacted as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill signed into law

by President Trump on July 4, 2025. This relief includes no

tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on car loan interest, an enhanced deduction for seniors, and permanent

extension of several important existing tax provisions that

were due to expire. The IRS has also played a critical role

in launching Trump Accounts, another important provision

in the legislation that provides families a financial head start

for their children.

In response to taxpayer preferences, we are committed

to transforming the IRS into a digital-first agency that

provides the best possible experience for our clients,

allowing them to fulfill their tax obligations with the same

ease they expect from the private sector. To achieve this

goal, during FY 2025 we continued making improvements

to the IRS Online Account for individuals and the Tax Pro

Account for tax practitioners, and continued to expand

the types of businesses qualified to use the Business

Tax Account.

The numbers in the Data Book tell the story of an organization that serves as a key partner in the administration’s

mission to provide a modern, efficient, and responsive

government. The IRS supports that mission by working to

bolster the administration’s pro-growth economic agenda

through its work administering the nation’s tax laws with

unparalleled efficiency and integrity, and a steadfast commitment to improving service to taxpayers.

The results of this commitment to the mission are clear: in

FY 2025 the IRS collected more than $5.3 trillion in revenue

and processed more than 271.4 million tax returns and other

forms, including almost 162.8 million individual income

tax returns. These and other accomplishments reflect the

strength of the administration’s economic agenda as well

as the dedication and expertise of our workforce in fulfilling

our important statutory responsibilities.

Helping individuals and small business owners fulfill their

tax obligations requires an array of taxpayer assistance

channels, which remained in high demand in FY 2025. For

example, our customer service representatives answered

more than 18 million calls from taxpayers, and approximately 2 million people sought help at one of our Taxpayer

Assistance Centers around the country.

Another important component of transforming the IRS

involves reducing paper processing, through our “zero

paper” initiative. As part of that initiative, the agency has

begun phasing out paper refund checks to comply with the

Executive Order that launched a broad, government-wide

transition to electronic payments.

The IRS’s transformation efforts extend to the area of

tax compliance, as we have been working to improve

collections in a manner that employs data, analytics,

and improved technology to focus enforcement efforts

where they matter most. Our use of artificial intelligence and advanced analytics is allowing us to identify

high-risk areas of non-compliance and tax fraud with

greater accuracy and efficiency than in the past, and

we will continue this approach to achieve greater gains

in the future.

The statistics in the FY 2025 Data Book illustrate the

work of an agency that is transforming its operations,

embracing new technology and fostering a culture of

efficiency and accountability. As we move forward into

the future, we will continue making improvements using

disciplined, data-driven decision-making and a strong

commitment to measurable results, all in service to taxpayers and our nation.

[1] Gross collections include penalties and interest in addition to taxes.

[2] Includes overpayment refunds, refunds resulting from examination activity, refundable tax credits, and other outlays required by law. Also includes $16.8 billion in

interest, of which $2.2 billion was paid to corporations and $14.6 billion was paid to all others (related to individual, employment, estate, gift, and excise tax returns).

Excludes refunds credited to taxpayer accounts for tax liability in a subsequent year.

[3] Less than 0.05%.

[4] Collections of withheld individual income tax are not reported by taxpayers separately from Old-Age, Survivors, Disability, and Hospital Insurance (OASDHI) taxes

on salaries and wages (under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or FICA) and individual income tax payments along with taxes on self-employment income

(under the Self-Employment Insurance Contributions Act or SECA). The OASDHI tax collections and refunds shown in this table are based on estimates made by

the Secretary of the Treasury pursuant to the provisions of Section 201(a) of the Social Security Act as amended and include all OASDHI taxes. Amounts shown

for individual income tax withheld and individual income tax payments were derived by subtracting the FICA and SECA tax estimates from total individual income

tax withheld and individual income tax payments. Refund estimates, and, therefore, net collection estimates, were not made for the components of income and

OASDHI taxes.

[5] Includes collections of estimated income tax and payments made in conjunction with individual income tax return filings.

[6] Includes collections of estimated estate and trust income taxes and payments made in conjunction with estate and trust tax return filings.

[7] Excludes excise taxes collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

NOTES:

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

All money amounts are in current dollars.

Collection and refund data may not be comparable for a given fiscal year because payments made in prior years may be refunded in the current fiscal year.

Partnership, S corporation, regulated investment company, and real estate investment trust data are not shown in this table since these entities generally do not

have a tax liability. Instead, they pass any profits or losses to the underlying owners, who include these profits or losses on their income tax returns.

NOTES:

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

Classification by state is based on the individual’s address (or, in the case of businesses, the location of the principal office or place of business). However, some

individuals may use the address of a tax attorney or accountant. Sole proprietors, partners in a partnership, or shareholders in an S corporation may use their

business addresses. Such addresses could have been located in a state other than the state in which the individual resided. Similarly, taxes withheld reported by

employers located near a state boundary might include substantial amounts withheld from salaries of employees who reside in a neighboring state. Also, while

taxes of corporations may be paid from the principal office, the operations of these corporations may be located in one or more state(s).

Internal Revenue Service Data Book, 2025

Table 1-4. Number of Returns and Other Forms Filed Electronically, by Type and State, Fiscal Year 2025—Continued

Footnotes

d—Not shown to avoid disclosure of information about specific taxpayers. However, the data are included in the appropriate totals.

[1] Excludes returns that do not have the requirement or option of filing electronically; information returns (e.g., Forms 1098, 1099, 5498, W-2 and W-2G, and Schedule

K-1); tax-exempt bond returns (Forms 8038, 8038-B, 8038-CP, 8038-G, 8038-GC, 8038-T, 8038-TC, and 8328); and employee retirement benefit plan returns

(Forms 5500, 5500-EZ, and 5500-SF).

[2] Includes Forms 1120 (corporation income tax return); 1120-F (foreign corporation income tax return, except foreign life insurance company, foreign property and

casualty insurance company, or foreign sales corporation); and 1120-POL (income tax return for certain political organizations). Excludes Form 1120-S (S corporation income tax return), shown separately.

[3] Includes the Form 1040 series as follows: 1040 (individual income tax return); 1040-NR (nonresident alien income tax return); 1040-PR (self-employment income

tax return for Puerto Rico residents); 1040-SR (tax return for seniors); and 1040-SS (self-employment income tax return for U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American

Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands residents). Form 1040-X (amended individual income tax return) is included with supplemental documents in this table. As a

result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Form 1040 was redesigned for Tax Year (TY) 2018, making Forms 1040-A and 1040-EZ obsolete.

Excludes 1040-SP (declaración de impuestos de los Estados Unidos sobre los ingresos personales).

[4] Online e-filing is an option that allows taxpayers to prepare and file tax returns using a personal computer. Online returns can be filed through one of two processes:

taxpayers either complete a tax return on a website without downloading any software, or taxpayers purchase and load software onto their personal computers,

prepare their returns, and transmit them to the IRS through an online filing company. Includes 1040 (individual income tax return) and 1040-SR (tax return for

seniors) form series.

[5] Includes two Free File income tax preparation and electronic filing options: (1) all taxpayers could use Free File Fillable Forms, an electronic version of paper returns that performs simple mathematical calculations; and (2) taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of $84,000 or less could prepare and file their TY 2024 taxes

using commercial online software provided through a partnership between the IRS and Free File Alliance, LLC, a group of private-sector tax software companies.

The Free File Fillable Forms and Free File commercial online software were both available through IRS.gov. Forms 1040 (individual income tax return) and 1040SR (tax return for seniors) series are included. Shown separately for information purposes; counts are included in the Online Total filed column.

[6] Taxpayers were eligible for Direct File for Tax Year 2024 if they met specific criteria for income, deductions, adjustments, and credits. “Other” includes taxpayers

who moved to other states after the end of the year, and service members with military addresses, who are considered to reside in their home state. Shown separately for information purposes; counts are included in the Online Total filed column.

[7] Includes cases in which a taxpayer transmitted the return via an authorized e-file provider, who was, in most cases, also the return preparer with Forms 1040

(individual income tax return), 1040-SR (tax return for seniors). Due to data limitations, electronic Form 1040-NR (nonresident alien income tax return, 1040-PR

(self-employment income tax return for Puerto Rico residents), and 1040-SS (self-employment income tax return for U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,

and Northern Mariana Islands residents) returns are categorized as practitioner-filed returns. This is consistent with prior-year methodology in which these returns

were not separately identified within the filing method breakouts.

[8] Includes Forms 940 (employer’s federal unemployment tax return); 941 (employer’s quarterly tax return for income and Social Security taxes withheld for other than

household and agricultural employees); 941-PR/SS (employer’s quarterly tax return for Puerto Rico residents, or for U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa,

and Northern Mariana Islands residents); 943 (employer’s tax return for agricultural employees); 943-PR/SS (employer’s tax return for agricultural employees for

Puerto Rico residents, or for U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands residents); 944 (employer’s annual tax return or claim for

refund); and 945 (tax return of withheld income tax from nonpayroll distributions). Also includes Form 1042 (tax return of withheld income tax on U.S. source income

of foreign persons).

[9] Includes Forms 720 (excise tax return), 2290 (heavy highway vehicle use tax return), and 5330 (excise taxes related to employee retirement benefit plans return).

Excludes Form 8849 (claim for refund of excise taxes).

[10] Includes some of the Form 990 series as follows: 990 (tax-exempt organization information return, long form); 990-EZ (tax-exempt organization information return,

short form); 990-N (electronic notice (e-Postcard) for tax-exempt organizations not required to file Forms 990 or 990-EZ); and 990-PF (private foundation information return); and 990-T (tax-exempt organization unrelated business income tax return). Also includes Forms 4720 (excise tax return of charities and other persons);

5227 (split-interest trust information return); 8871 (political organization notice of Section 527 status); and Form 8872 (political organization report of contributions

and expenditures).

[11] Includes Forms 1040-X (amended individual income tax return); Forms 4868 (automatic filing extension for individuals); 7004 (automatic filing extension for corporations); and 8868 (automatic filing extension for tax-exempt organizations).

[12] Includes U.S. territories other than Puerto Rico, U.S. Armed Service members overseas, and international.

NOTES:

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

Classification by state is based on the individual’s address (or, in the case of businesses, the location of the principal office or place of business). However, some

individuals may use the address of a tax attorney or accountant. Sole proprietors, partners in a partnership, or shareholders in an S corporation may use their

business addresses. Such addresses could have been located in a state other than the state in which the individual resided. Similarly, taxes withheld reported by

employers located near a state boundary might include substantial amounts withheld from salaries of employees who reside in a neighboring state. Also, while

taxes of corporations may be paid from the principal office, the operations of these corporations may be located in one or more state(s).

Table 1-5. Gross Collections, by Type of Tax and State, Fiscal Year 2025—Continued

Footnotes

[1] Gross collections include penalties and interest in addition to taxes.

[2] Includes taxes on corporation income (Form 1120 series) and unrelated business income from tax-exempt organizations (Form 990-T).

[3] Collections of withheld individual income tax are not reported by taxpayers separately from Old-Age, Survivors, Disability, and Hospital Insurance (OASDHI) taxes

on salaries and wages (under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act or FICA) and individual income tax payments along with taxes on self-employment income

(under the Self-Employment Insurance Contributions Act or SECA). Thus, while Table 1-1 shows these amounts separately for the United States total, separate

amounts are not available by state.

[4] Includes collections of estimated estate and trust income taxes and payments made in conjunction with estate and trust tax return filings.

[5] Excludes excise taxes collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

[6] Includes tax and excess withholding payments not classified by state as of the end of the fiscal year because they had not been applied to taxpayer accounts.

Undistributed amounts may be negative when adjustments to taxpayer accounts have not been completed.

NOTES:

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

Partnership, S corporation, regulated investment company, and real estate investment trust data are not shown in this table since these entities generally do not

have a tax liability. Instead, they pass through any profits or losses to the underlying owners, who include these profits or losses on their income tax returns.

This table shows gross collections. Gross collections less refunds equal net collections. See Table 1-1 for refunds and net collections.

Collection and refund data may not be comparable for a given fiscal year because payments made in prior years may be refunded in the current fiscal year.

Adjustments to prior-year refunds made in Fiscal Year 2025 may result in negative amounts when such adjustments exceed current-year collections. See Tables 1-7

and 1-8 for refund data by state.

Classification by state is based on the individual’s address (or, in the case of businesses, the location of the principal office or place of business). However, some

individuals may use the address of a tax attorney or accountant. Sole proprietors may use their business addresses. Such addresses could have been located in

a state other than the state in which the individual resided. Similarly, taxes withheld and reported by employers located near a state boundary might include substantial amounts withheld from salaries of employees who reside in a neighboring state. Also, while taxes of corporations may be paid from the principal office, the

operations of these corporations may be located in one or more other state(s).

Internal Revenue Service Data Book, 2025

Table 1-6. Gross Collections, by Type of Tax, Fiscal Years 1960 – 2025—Continued

Footnotes

[1] Gross collections include penalties and interest in addition to taxes.

[2] Includes taxes on corporation income (Form 1120 series) and on unrelated business income from tax-exempt organizations (Form 990-T).

[3] Income tax reported for estates and trusts is included in individual income tax in Fiscal Years (FY) 1960–2007. Beginning with FY 2008, estate and trust income tax

is reported separately.

[4] Includes taxes for Old-Age, Survivors, Disability, and Hospital Insurance (OASDHI); unemployment insurance under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA);

and railroad retirement under the Railroad Retirement Tax Act (RRTA).

[5] Excludes excise taxes collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. The Internal Revenue Service collected taxes on alcohol and tobacco until FY 1988 and taxes on firearms until FY 1991.

[6] Represents fiscal-year transitional period, July 1976 through September 1976, resulting from redefinition of the term “fiscal year.” FY 1976 covered July 1975

through June 1976 (earlier years were similarly defined). FY 1977 covered October 1976 through September 1977 (subsequent years are similarly defined).

[7] The estate tax was temporarily repealed for deaths in Calendar Year (CY) 2010 before being reinstated retroactively with a $5-million exemption as part of the Tax

Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010. As a result of this legislation, the estates of CY 2010 decedents could elect to file

either Form 706 (estate and generation-skipping transfer tax return), due September 19, 2011, or Form 8939 (allocation of increase in basis for property acquired

from a decedent), due January 17, 2012. The law also provided a $5-million exemption for the estates of CY 2011 decedents. These tax law changes significantly

reduced estate tax gross collections in FY 2011 relative to other fiscal years.

NOTES:

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

All money amounts are in current dollars.

Partnership, S corporation, regulated investment company, and real estate investment trust data are not shown in this table since these entities generally do not

have a tax liability. Instead, they pass any profits or losses to the underlying owners, who include these profits or losses on their income tax returns.

This table shows gross collections. Gross collections less refunds equal net collections. See Table 1-1 for data on refunds and net collections.

Table 1-7. Number of Refunds Issued, by Type of Refund and State, Fiscal Year 2025—Continued

Footnotes

d —Not shown to avoid disclosure of information about specific taxpayers. However, the data are included in the appropriate totals.

N/A—Not applicable.

[1] Includes overpayment refunds, refunds resulting from examination activity, refundable tax credits, and other refunds required by law. Excludes refunds credited to

taxpayer accounts for tax liability in a subsequent year.

[2] Includes refunds of taxes on corporation income (Form 1120 series) and on unrelated business income from tax-exempt organizations (Form 990-T).

[3] Includes refunds on self-employment income taxes under the Self-Employment Insurance Contributions Act (SECA); railroad retirement taxes under the Railroad

Retirement Tax Act (RRTA); unemployment insurance taxes under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA); and Old-Age, Survivors, Disability and Hospital

Insurance (OASDHI) taxes on salaries and wages under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA).

[4] Excludes refunds of excise taxes collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.

[5] Includes refunds of tax and excess withholding payments not classified by state as of the end of the fiscal year because they had not been applied to taxpayer

accounts.

[6] Reflects refundable portions of credits only. Shown separately for information purposes. Counts are included in the state figures and U.S. totals.

NOTE:

Classification by state is based on the individual’s address (or, in the case of businesses, the location of the principal office or place of business). However, some

individuals may use the address of a tax attorney or accountant. Sole proprietors, partners in a partnership, or shareholders in an S corporation may use their

business addresses. Such addresses could have been located in a state other than the state in which the individual resided. Similarly, taxes withheld and reported

by employers located near a state boundary might include substantial amounts withheld from salaries of employees who reside in a neighboring state. Also, while

taxes of corporations may be paid from the principal office, the operations of these corporations may be located in one or more states.

Table 1-8. Amount of Refunds Issued, Including Interest, by Type of Refund and State, Fiscal Year 2025—Continued

Footnotes

d —Not shown to avoid disclosure of information about specific taxpayers. However, the data are included in the appropriate totals.

N/A—Not applicable.

[1] Includes overpayment refunds, refunds resulting from examination activity, refundable tax credits, and other outlays required by law. Also includes $16.8 billion in

interest, of which $2.2 billion was paid to corporations and $14.6 billion was paid to all others (related to individual, employment, estate, gift, and excise tax returns).

Excludes refunds credited to taxpayer accounts for tax liability in a subsequent year.

[2] Includes refunds of taxes on corporation income (Form 1120 series) and on unrelated business income from tax-exempt organizations (Form 990-T).

[3] The average individual income tax refund (based on Forms 1040, 1040-A, and 1040-EZ) was $3,173. This calculation excludes refunds of $151.1 billion for the

Advance Premium Tax Credit/Cost Sharing Reduction provisions of the Affordable Care Act and $5.5 million in undistributed refunds.

[4] Includes refunds of self-employment income taxes under the Self-Employment Insurance Contributions Act (SECA); railroad retirement taxes under the Railroad

Retirement Tax Act (RRTA); unemployment insurance taxes under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA); and Old-Age, Survivors, Disability, and Hospital

Insurance (OASDHI) taxes on salaries and wages under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA).

[5] Excludes refunds of excise taxes collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Beginning with Fiscal Year

(FY) 2015, some refunds which had been classified as excise tax refunds in prior years were reclassified as corporate tax refunds.

[6] Less than $500.

[7] The Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) and Cost Sharing Reduction (CSR) are provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Beginning

with FY 2018, an executive order was issued to discontinue CSR payments to insurance companies. The APTC data included in this table represent advance payment of a refundable tax credit that helps taxpayers pay for their health insurance premiums on a monthly basis. The APTC is available when taxpayers purchase

health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace and meet other specific criteria. The Basic Health Program provides states with the option to establish and operate a health benefit coverage program for low-income individuals as an alternative to Health Insurance Marketplace coverage under the Affordable

Care Act.

[8] Includes refunds of tax and excess withholding payments not classified by state as of the end of the fiscal year because they had not been applied to taxpayer accounts. Undistributed amounts may be negative when adjustments to taxpayer accounts have not been completed.

[9] Reflects refundable portions of credits only. Shown separately for information purposes. Refund amounts are included in the state figures and U.S. totals.

NOTES:

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

Collection and refund data may not be comparable for a given fiscal year because payments made in prior years may be refunded in the current fiscal year.

Adjustments to prior-year returns made in FY 2025 may result in negative amounts when such adjustments exceed current-year refunds. See Table 1-5 for collections data.

Classification by state is based on the individual’s address (or in the case of businesses, the location of the principal office or place of business). However, some

individuals may use the address of a tax attorney or accountant. Sole proprietors, partners in a partnership, or shareholders in an S corporation may use their

business addresses. Such addresses could have been located in a state other than the state in which the individual resided. Similarly, taxes withheld and reported

by employers located near a state boundary might include substantial amounts withheld from salaries of employees who reside in a neighboring state. Also, while

taxes of corporations may be paid from the principal office, the operations of these corporations may be located in one or more states.

Service to Taxpayers

This section of the Data Book provides information on the

ways the IRS provides assistance, not only to taxpayers

but also to tax-exempt organizations and government entities. The IRS aids taxpayers in meeting their federal tax

return filing and payment obligations through its telephone

helplines, via IRS.gov, at IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers,

and by volunteer-provided income tax assistance.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) is an independent organization within the IRS that helps taxpayers resolve problems with the IRS, protects taxpayers’ rights enumerated

in the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and recommends changes

that will help to avoid issues. Taxpayers may request TAS’s

assistance.

In addition to helping taxpayers meet their tax responsibilities, the IRS devotes significant resources to meeting the

special needs of tax-exempt organizations, employee retirement plans, and government entities in complying with tax

laws. While these entities are not subject to federal income

tax, they nonetheless represent a significant aspect of tax

administration.

Highlights of the Data

• In Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, the IRS

assisted 50.4 million taxpayers

through correspondence, its enterprise-wide telephone helplines,

or at Taxpayer Assistance Centers

(Table 2-1).

• In FY 2025, the IRS provided self-assistance to taxpayers through 958.9

million visits to IRS.gov, including

416.8 million inquiries to the “Where’s

My Refund” application, and the

IRS2GO mobile app had 9.3 million

active users (Table 2-2).

• Taxpayers downloaded nearly 590.7

million files (such as tax forms and

instruction documents) from IRS.gov

during FY 2025 (Table 2-2).

[1] Includes calls answered across the Service, including telephone lines serving individuals, small business/self-employed, large business and international, and tax-exempt

and government entities.

[2] The Enterprise level of service measures the relative success rate of taxpayers calling to speak with an IRS assistor.

[3] Includes calls answered by Accounts Management (AM) Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) and automated calls. These telephone lines serviced 71% of all

telephone traffic in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025. These lines are included in the Enterprise Telephone assistance volumes above.

[4] The CSR level of service measures the relative success rate of taxpayers calling to speak with a CSR. The CSR level of service includes telephone lines answered

by AM CSRs only. This is the IRS's official measure for telephone level of service.

[5] In addition to answers provided by assistors, the IRS also provides phone service to taxpayers using automation. To better demonstrate the percentage of taxpayers receiving service from either an IRS assistor or through automation, the IRS developed a new measure that expands on the CSR level of service to include

these automated calls.

[6] Based on a telephone survey of customers who called an IRS AM toll-free number to assess their satisfaction with the service they received during their calls.

[7] Based on a telephone survey of customers who called an IRS AM toll-free number and were asked to assess their experiences with the service they received during their

calls. This score follows the Office of Budget and Management (OMB) methodology for calculating Trust, which is posted on Performance.gov. OMB’s Federal Trust goal is

75 or greater.

[8] Includes contacts at 363 IRS Taxpayer Assistance Centers (TACs) and 18 Virtual Service Delivery sites. Excludes Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax

Counseling for the Elderly sites, which are shown separately in this table.

[9] Includes AM adjustments, including individual and business taxpayer correspondence for domestic and international taxpayers; individual and business amended

returns processed; injured spouse claims; applications for Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers; and applications for exempt organizations and employee plans.

[10] The percentage shown in this table represents the results from the AM Customer Satisfaction (Adjustments) survey and reflects the level of customer satisfaction

with adjustment processing and handling of customer account correspondence, claims, and amended returns. Due to an issue with the contractor, survey results

are not available for FY 2025.

[11] Represents the number of approved organizations that distribute paper forms, instructions, and publications. Some organizations may have multiple sites.

[12] Reflects events where the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designated disaster areas and the IRS granted administrative tax relief.

[13] Following a disaster, the governor of the affected state may request a declaration by the president. Therefore, while a disaster incident is declared for a state or territory, typically only a few counties, parishes, municipalities, independent cities, etc., receive relief for each event.

[14] Represents the Quality Statistical Sample accuracy rate of federal returns prepared at Volunteer Income Tax Assistance and Tax Counseling for the Elderly sites.

[15] Represents the number of Identity Protection Personal Identification Numbers (IP PINs) assigned to qualified taxpayers.

[16] Includes tax practitioner institutes, small business forums, small business tax workshops, tax practitioner and payroll provider meetings, governmental contacts,

and miscellaneous stakeholder meetings and events. Includes virtual technology-based sessions.

[1] Online assistance is reported as visits, page views, and downloads from www.irs.gov and related hostnames. A website visit is a session that begins when a user

views their first webpage and ends when the user leaves the IRS.gov domain. Users may access multiple webpages during a single visit to the IRS website; these

are counted as page views. Only cookied visits and page views are counted. A download is the process of copying a file, such as a tax form or instructions, from the

IRS.gov website to the user’s personal device.

[2] Represents the total count of payment settlements plus payment reversals from the Direct Pay Application. In prior years, only Direct Pay transactions for individuals were included in these counts; however, in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, business payments as of October 18, 2025, are also included.

[3] Taxpayers may access the Get Transcript by Mail application by visiting IRS.gov and selecting the “Get Your Tax Record” link. Taxpayers are granted access to

Get Transcript by Mail after completing Secure Access eAuthentication. After successfully registering, the taxpayer may order a tax return transcript and/or a tax

account transcript based on the type and year. The transcript will be delivered by mail to the address on file with the IRS.

[4] Taxpayers may access the Get Transcript Online application by visiting IRS.gov and selecting the “Get Your Tax Record” link. Taxpayers are granted access to Get

Transcript Online after completing Secure Access eAuthentication. After successfully registering, taxpayers may select available transcripts (tax return, tax account,

record of account, wage and income, and/or verification of nonfiling letter) based on the type and year. Transcripts may be viewed online, printed, and/or downloaded.

Multiple transcripts may be ordered in one session.

[5] Represents the number of successful online taxpayer verifications completed. The ID Verify Web tool allows victims of identity theft who have not filed a current

return to resolve issues with their accounts online; taxpayers no longer have to travel to a Taxpayer Assistance Center or call the IRS.

[6] Represents the number of Identity Protection Personal Identification Numbers (IP PINs) issued online only. Additional IP PINs were issued through other means;

see Table 2-1 for information on all IP PINs issued.

[7] Represents the number of transcript requests received electronically from registered participants. The Income Verification Express Service (IVES) allows third- or

fourth-party businesses (participants) to send requests for transcripts electronically for income verification purposes.

[8] Represents the number of interactions completed using the Interactive Tax Assistant (ITA). The ITA is a tax law resource that takes taxpayers through a series of

questions and provides answers to their tax law questions.

[9] Includes the number of users who opened the IRS2GO mobile application at least once during the fiscal year.

[10] Represents the count of sessions of authorized users who accessed the Individual Online Account (IOLA) application. Taxpayers may access their IOLA to view

balance due information, to make and schedule payments, set up short-term or long-term payment plans, view payment history, access tax records, view digital

copies of notices and letters, and approve tax professional authorizations.

[11] Includes the number of individual and business installment agreements established or revised online. It also includes the number of short-term extensions (30,

60, and 120 days) and the number of agreements that required the taxpayer to pay the balance immediately. For information on all Installment Agreements, see

Table 4-1.

[12] Represents the number of Tax Withholding Estimator tool completion events. A change in methodology was made during FY 2024, which excludes sessions where

users generated results but did not download the Form W-4.

[13] The Transcript Delivery System enables authorized tax practitioners to order tax accounts, tax return transcripts, and other tax information for their business and individual clients. Requests are returned to the practitioner’s computer through a secure online connection within minutes of the request. Beginning in FY 2017, the count

changed from counting requests received to actual requests delivered or resolved. The change was made to be consistent with other transcript applications offered.

[14] The percentage of taxpayers using self-assistance tools for their service needs. Beginning in FY 2017, the IRS replaced the Taxpayer Self-Assistance Rate with

a new metric, Enterprise Taxpayer Self-Assistance Participation Rate. The new metric includes established self-service channels such as Where’s My Refund,

Online Employer Identification Number applications, Interactive Tax Assistant, Where’s My Amended Return, Get Transcript Online or by Mail, IRS Data Retrieval

Tool, Transcript Delivery System, Income Verification Express Service, electronic payments, online payment agreements, and automated calls to the IRS. The

metric demonstrates the IRS’s progress toward providing more service options and taxpayers’ adoption of self-assistance. As new self-assistance applications are

provided to the public, they will be added to the methodology.

NOTE: The IRS Video Portal and IRS Data Retrieval Tool were discontinued in FY 2024.

[1] This table displays the total number of cases received by the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) in Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 as well as the top 15 types of primary

issues. TAS cases can have more than one issue but they are categorized by their primary issue. TAS generally receives cases from any of the following sources:

IRS employee referrals based on IRS guidance, direct taxpayer requests for assistance (by phone, in person, outreach activities, or through correspondence), practitioners, and congressional office referrals. In FY 2025, of the 229,760 TAS case receipts, 46,099 receipts, or 20% of all receipts, were from congressional offices.

From FY 2000 through FY 2019, TAS congressional receipts averaged 7% of all cases received. However, due to an increased backlog because of the effects of the

COVID-19 pandemic, more taxpayers reached out to their congressional representatives, who in turn contacted TAS to address the taxpayers’ issues with the IRS.

[2] Includes cases detected through the Taxpayer Protection Program process as potential stolen identity returns.

[3] The National Taxpayer Advocate has the authority to issue a Taxpayer Assistance Order (TAO) when a taxpayer is suffering or about to suffer a significant hardship as a result of the manner in which the Internal Revenue laws are being administered if relief is not granted. A TAO directs an IRS organizational unit to take a

specific action or to review, expedite consideration of, or reconsider a taxpayer’s case. In the majority of cases, TAS can resolve taxpayers’ issues without issuing

TAOs. A TAO may be issued in one fiscal year and closed in another.

[4] An individual taxpayer issue is a single issue (applicable to an individual, corporation, or other entity) that requires a change or modification to an account.

[5] A systemic issue may result in a change or modification to an established IRS procedure, process, or operation (e.g., computer program) that potentially impacts more

than one taxpayer.

[6] Less than 0.05%.

[7] Another IRS division provided relief before TAS intervention. Due to a system change, this metric was renamed from "No relief provided by Taxpayer Advocate

Service".

[8] Due to a system change, TAS no longer tracks Individual Issue Relief and Systemic Issue Relief separately as of August 2025.

NOTES:

Cases may be received in one fiscal year and closed in another.

Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.

The Taxpayer Advocate Service is an independent organization within the IRS that helps taxpayers resolve problems with the IRS, protects taxpayers’ rights under

the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, and recommends changes that will prevent the problems.

Tax-exempt status for legal services organizations (Section 501(c)(20)) was revoked effective June 20, 1992; taxexempt status for trusts described in Section 4049 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) (Section 501(c)(24)) was repealed in 2006.

[4] Includes private foundations and nonexempt charitable trusts (Section 4947(a)(1)). Not all organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) must apply for recognition

of tax-exempt status, including churches, interchurch organizations of local units of a church, integrated auxiliaries of a church, conventions or associations of

churches, and organizations (other than private foundations as described in Section 509(a)) that have normal gross receipts in each taxable year of not more than

$5,000. In addition, organizations may be recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) without filing an application if they are included in a group exemption

letter given to an affiliated parent organization.

NOTE:

Organizations that meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(a) are exempt from federal income taxation. Organizations may request a determination regarding recognition of their tax-exempt status by completing and submitting the appropriate application form. Information regarding the requirements for

recognition of exemption and the forms used to request a determination can be found in Publication 557, Tax-Exempt Status for Your Organization, and Revenue

[3] The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015 instituted Internal Revenue Code Section 506, which requires an organization to notify the IRS of its

intent to operate as a Section 501(c)(4) organization within 60 days of formation. These organizations (civic leagues, organizations operated exclusively to promote

social welfare, and local associations of employees) notify the IRS by electronically submitting Form 8976, Notice of Intent To Operate Under Section 501(c)(4),

along with the appropriate user fee. Submission of the Form 8976 does not constitute a request for a determination letter for recognition as tax exempt under 501(c)

(4) nor is the acknowledgment of receipt of an organization’s Form 8976 a determination of tax-exempt status by the IRS. An organization that submits a notification

on Form 8976 has the option to subsequently request a determination of tax-exempt status by filing Form 1024-A, Application for Recognition of Exemption Under

Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. Organizations that intend to operate as Section 501(c)(4) organizations are also required to file Form 990, Form

990-EZ, or Form 990-N.

d—Not shown to avoid disclosure of information about specific taxpayers. However, the data are included in the appropriate totals.

[1] A defined benefit plan is a retirement plan that does not maintain individual account balances that reflect the accrued benefits of each plan participant. Instead, the

accrued benefits are determined by a formula stated in the plan.

[2] A defined contribution plan is a retirement plan that provides an individual account for each participant. Benefits are based solely on amounts contributed to the

participant’s account and any earnings on these contributions.

[3] A traditional defined benefit plan is a retirement plan that does not maintain individual account balances (unlike Hybrid/PEP) that reflect the accrued benefits of each

plan participant. Instead, the accrued benefits are determined by a formula stated in the plan.

[4] The types of plans in the hybrid/PEP include cash balance plans, pension equity plans (PEP), and any other nonallocable or nonspecified plans. A cash balance

plan is a defined benefit plan under which the benefit formula is expressed as the current balance of a hypothetical account maintained for the participant. A PEP is

a defined benefit plan under which the benefit formula is expressed as the value of an accumulated percentage of the participant’s final average compensation.

[5] A 401(k) plan is a retirement plan in which employees may make salary deferral (salary reduction) contributions on a post-tax and/or pretax basis. Employers may

make matching or nonelective contributions to the plan on behalf of eligible employees and may also add a profit-sharing feature to the plan.

[6] There are two types of employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs): a “leveraged” employee stock ownership plan and a “nonleveraged” employee stock ownership

plan. A leveraged ESOP is a retirement plan in which a company leverages its credit to borrow money to fund the retirement plan. The company uses the borrowed

funds to purchase shares from the company’s treasury for the retirement plan and makes annual contributions to repay the original loan. A nonleveraged ESOP is

a retirement plan in which a company contributes either cash to purchase outstanding shares of company stock or contributes a certain amount of shares from the

company’s treasury to employee accounts.

[7] A profit-sharing plan is a retirement plan that gives employees a share in the profits of the company. Contributions to employee retirement accounts are determined

as a percentage of annual company profits.

[8] Other plans are defined contribution plan types not included in this table. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2025, these were money purchase plans, stock bonus plans, and

403(b) plans. A money purchase retirement plan is a retirement plan under which employer contributions are based on a fixed percentage of compensation; contributions are required every year, regardless of earnings and profits. A stock bonus plan is a retirement plan that is funded by employer contributions of corporate

stock. A 403(b) plan (also called a tax-sheltered annuity or TSA plan) is a retirement plan offered by public schools and certain 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations.

[9] Reflects retirement plans for which IRS issued determination letters. Regardless of plan type, all plans in this table also satisfied the qualification requirements of

federal pension law. No adverse determination letters were issued in FY 2025.

[10] Totals may be overstated to the extent that employees who participate in more than one plan may be counted more than once.

NOTE: The determination letter application process is voluntary; if and when employers decide to file can cause significant differences in the data from year to year.

Compliance Presence

This section of the IRS Data Book

highlights the IRS’s compliance efforts.

Examinations (audits) of most types of

tax returns, information reporting and

verification, math error notices, and

criminal investigations are critical tools

to determine if income, expenses, and

credits are being accurately reported

and to identify and resolve taxpayer

errors and to identify fraud. These tools

ensure the IRS has a presence across

all types of taxpayers, for all income

and asset levels.

For the past decade, the IRS has seen

an increase in the number and complexity of returns filed paired with a

decrease in resources available for examinations. The Service is constantly

adapting and improving its processes

to identify errors, detect fraudulent

activity, and ensure resources are allocated as efficiently and effectively as

possible. While the IRS accepts most

returns as filed, some are selected for

examination using various methods,

including random sampling and computerized screening. IRS examinations

are conducted through the mail (correspondence) or face-to-face (field).

The IRS also offers programs that

encourage a more proactive approach

to ensuring tax compliance for large

and international businesses. Tax certainty programs, including the Advance

Pricing Agreement Program and

the Compliance Assurance Process

Program, help taxpayers improve their

federal tax compliance via cooperation with the IRS prior to the filing of

tax returns.

The IRS gathers independent information about income received and taxes

withheld from information returns, such

as Forms W–2 and 1099 filed by employers and other third parties. The

IRS uses this information to verify selfreported income and tax on returns

filed by taxpayers. With its Automated

Underreporter Program, the IRS matches these information returns to tax

returns and contacts taxpayers to resolve discrepancies. In the Automated

Substitute for Return Program, the IRS

uses information returns from third parties to identify nonfilers; construct tax

returns for certain nonfilers based on

that third-party information; and assess

tax, interest, and penalties based on the

substitute returns. To further verify the

accuracy of reported information, the

IRS also checks for mathematical and

clerical errors before refunds are paid.

IRS’s Criminal Investigation function

conducts investigations of alleged

criminal violations of the tax code and

related financial statutes, which may

in turn lead to prosecution, fines, and

imprisonment.

Highlights of the Data

• For all returns filed for Tax Years (TY) 2015 through

2023, the IRS has examined 0.36% of individual returns

filed and 0.57% of corporation returns filed, as of the

end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 (Table 3-1).

• The IRS has examined the returns of 7.9% of taxpayers

filing individual returns reporting total positive income

of $10 million or more for TYs 2015 through 2023, as of

the end of FY 2025 (Table 3-1).
