“For years the IRS—like our tax code—has been in need of a complete overhaul. With today’s passage of the 21st Century IRS Act, the House has taken a bipartisan step to achieve that goal. This bill includes important reforms to modernize the IRS, bringing it into the 21st century and enabling the agency to better serve the American people.
