Fiscal Year Return Projections for the United States, 2010-2017. Document 6292 Spring 2010 Update

摘要

The following Spring 2010 edition of IRS Document 6292 provides the most recent revisions to the U.S. level projections of tax returns to be filed for fiscal years (FY) 2010 through 2017 by the major return categories, including selected detail by IRS business operating divisions. Office of Research staff, within the IRS Research, Analysis, and Statistics organization prepare these projections semi-annually in order to incorporate changes in filing patterns, economic and demographic trends, legislative requirements, and IRS administrative processes. These forecasts provide a basis for IRS workload estimates and resource requirements contained in IRS budget submissions and other resource planning and analysis. The projections in this document are based on the information available as of early April 2010, including enacted tax law changes and confirmed administrative plans. Legislative or administrative initiatives under consideration are generally not used to adjust the projections due to the uncertain nature of their eventual outcome. As a result, the projections of electronically filed (e-file) returns contained in this publication are not goals, per se, and should not be interpreted as precluding an alternate e-file future.
