    How would treating electronically filed taxes as delivered on their sending date rather than receipt date change filing deadlines for taxpayers?

  2. 02

    What administrative costs might the IRS incur to implement new guidance for electronic tax documents and payments by the 2025 deadline?

  3. 03
