The April 15 tax filing deadline has passed, so how did the IRS perform? Thanks to funding provided by the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS says it expanded taxpayer service to levels not seen in more than a decade, with double-digit gains occurring in critical areas. Compared to a year ago, the IRS answered more than one million more taxpayer phone calls, helped over 170,000 more people in person and saw 75 million more IRS.gov visits fueled by the expanded Where’s My Refund? tool. A few more numbers: Since the start of the tax season, the IRS delivered more than $200 billion in refunds through early April. The average refund was $3,011, a 4.6% increase from last April’s average of $2,878.
