Latest News About Internal Revenue Service

Here are the latest IRS news highlights I found just now:

• The IRS released a series of updates in April 2026, including a new, streamlined option to request more time to respond to ERC claim disallowances and a broader rollout of its Business Tax Account access to partnerships, government entities, and tax-exempt organizations. These developments signal ongoing enhancements to taxpayer self-service tools and dispute processes. [IRS newsroom IR-2026-58, IR-2026-46] [sources: IRS newsroom page]
• The IRS Newsroom (as of May 4, 2026) continues to promote its online services, deadlines, tax guidance, and relief programs, underscoring the agency’s emphasis on digital self-service and timely tax information for individuals and businesses. [IRS newsroom] [source: IRS newsroom page]

If you’d like, I can pull more detailed summaries from the IRS press releases or provide direct links to the specific IR-2026 items. For example, I can extract the exact steps for extending review periods for ERC claims or the new BTA access eligibility and how to enroll. Would you like me to do that?
