A recent report (https://bit.ly/3MoKW0h ) released by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) warns that the IRS may miss a 2030 deadline to digitize all historical tax records. Contractors had scanned less than 3% of an estimated 1 billion pages of documents. The agency had also fallen behind the Trump administration’s Zero Paper Initiative goals. The TIGTA attributes these shortfalls to IRS staff cuts and contractor shortages. The TIGTA recommends that the agency make scanning historical tax documents a priority. The IRS agrees with the recommendation but says it’s focusing on current-year returns.
