El proceso ofrece a los contribuyentes un enfoque más rápido, colaborativo y factible para la resolución de casos. El proceso de apelación tradicional sigue disponible para quienes lo elijan. La mediación podría ser adecuada para un contribuyente si: El contribuyente desea resolver la disputa lo antes posible durante la auditoría. El contribuyente no tiene muchos asuntos en disputa. El contribuyente proporcionó al IRS información para respaldar su posición. El IRS aún está considerando el caso del contribuyente y aún quedan asuntos sin resolver. La mediación es: Voluntaria para ambas partes. No vinculante, lo que significa que cada parte conserva el 100% del control sobre si se llega a un acuerdo en el caso. Nadie puede obligar a ninguna de las partes a hacer algo que no esté de acuerdo. Eficaz cuando ambas partes desean resolver el asunto en disputa. Una oportunidad para evitar un largo proceso de apelación o un litigio costoso. La mediación no es: Requerida por ninguna de las partes. Un sustituto de la auditoría o el proceso de cobro. Un proceso en el que las partes en disputa presentan argumentos directamente al mediador con la esperanza de ganar. Es efectiva si alguna de las partes cree que la única manera de resolver la disputa es si la otra parte cede o cede en su postura. Un momento para presentar nueva información o plantear nuevos asuntos. Una oportunidad para intentar obtener un resultado más favorable o retrasar el examen o el proceso de cobro. Principales programas de resolución alternativa de disputas: Resolución acelerada: cuando las partes pueden optar por la mediación para los asuntos pendientes durante el proceso de examen. Mediación posterior a la apelación: cuando las partes pueden optar por la mediación para los asuntos pendientes que queden al concluir una apelación tradicional. La mediación funciona mejor si los contribuyentes se preparan para su éxito. Descubra qué esperar de la Oficina Independiente de Apelaciones.

Tax Tip 2025-34: Mediation can help taxpayers resolve tax issues

The process provides taxpayers a faster, more collaborative and cost-effective approach to case resolution. The traditional appeal process is still available for taxpayers who choose it. Mediation might be right for a taxpayer if: The taxpayer wants to resolve the dispute at the earliest possible stage of their audit. The taxpayer doesn't have many disputed issues. The taxpayer gave the IRS information to support their position. The IRS is still considering the taxpayer's case and issues remain unresolved. Mediation is: Voluntary for both parties. Nonbinding, meaning each party retains 100% control over whether to settle the case. No one can force either party to do something they don't agree to do. Effective when both parties have a desire to resolve the disputed issue. A chance to avoid a lengthy appeal process or costly litigation. Mediation is not: Required by either party. A replacement for the audit or collection process. A process in which the parties in the dispute offer arguments directly to the mediator hoping to "win." Effective if either party believes the only way the dispute will get resolved is if the other party concedes or gives up on its position. A time to present new information or raise new issues. An opportunity to try and get a more favorable outcome or delay the examination or collection process. Primary alternative dispute resolution programs: Fast Track Settlement – when the parties can choose to seek mediation for unresolved issues in the examination process. Post Appeals Mediation – when the parties can seek mediation for unresolved issues remaining at the conclusion of a traditional Appeals proceeding. Mediation works best if taxpayers prepare for success. Find out what to expect from the Independent Office of Appeals.

This year's edition marks the publication's 30-year anniversary; the first Data Book covered fiscal years 1993 and 1994 and was available in 1995. Prior to 1993, the IRS published annual reports, which date back to 1863. The Data Book provides a fiscal year statistical overview of the agency's operations including returns received, revenue collected, taxpayer services provided, tax returns examined (audits), efforts to collect unpaid taxes and other details about the work of the IRS. IRS provided improved service to taxpayers The IRS provided improved levels of service during the past two filing seasons. During FY 2024, the IRS assisted taxpayers on 62.2 million occasions, up 3.2% compared to the prior fiscal year; the agency also improved its level of service and reduced call wait times. The IRS saw improvement in each of the major categories of taxpayer assistance – live telephone assistance, automated telephone assistance and assistance provided at Taxpayer Assistance Centers. The IRS's toll-free customer service lines provided live telephone assistance to almost 20 million callers during FY 2024, up almost 11% compared to the previous year. At its Taxpayer Assistance Centers, the agency helped more than 2 million taxpayers in person, an increase of almost 26% compared to fiscal year 2023.

During FY 2024, the net collections from this function totaled almost $77.6 billion, an increase of 13.6% compared to the prior fiscal year. During the past fiscal year, more taxpayers settled their tax debts through installment agreements – the agency's payment plan program that allows individuals and small businesses to pay their debt over time.
