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.

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

active users (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.

Retirement Investment Trust (Section 501(c)(28)). 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
Procedure 2022–5.

[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

• 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
