Abstract:

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has developed a process by which quality among services the IRS provides to taxpayers is measured. With the assistance of the Statistic of Income (SOI) Division of the IRS, this process has been centralized, implemented, and improved upon to consistently/adequately measure the quality of service provided to taxpayers. The results of this quality review process are captured on a database that can be accessed by all persons associated with measuring quality. This paper will describe the historical development and standardization of the quality measuring process, as well as the future of quality measurement wtihin the IRS.
