We need your help.
The IRS, state tax agencies and the tax industry, working together as the Security Summit, have made significant progress in the fight against tax-related identity theft. In recent years, the partnership has taken numerous steps to better protect your data. Despite these successes, identity theft remains a threat. There is much work to do, but we can't do it alone.
We are asking you - taxpayers, tax professionals and businesses - to join with us to create an even stronger partnership. Our "Taxes. Security. Together" awareness campaign is an effort to better inform you about the actions you can take to protect your sensitive data.
The mission of the IRS is to provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and enforce the law with integrity and fairness to all.
This mission statement describes our role and the public’s expectation about how we should perform that role.
- In the United States, the Congress passes tax laws and requires taxpayers to comply.
- The taxpayer’s role is to understand and meet his or her tax obligations.
- The IRS role is to help the large majority of compliant taxpayers with the tax law, while ensuring that the minority who are unwilling to comply pay their fair share.
