IRS spruces up Pre-Filing Agreement program

Looking for “greater tax certainty” for large business and international taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service has improved its Pre-Filing Agreement program.

The PFA program allows taxpayers under the Large Business and International Division jurisdiction to resolve potential tax issues before filing their return. Enhancements include:

• A landing page with program statistics, a streamlined process overview and navigation to dispute prevention resources.
• Step-by-step instructions to submit a PFA request, including response time expectations and post-submission next steps.
• A Pre-Filing Agreement Likely Suitable Issues and Documentation page for taxpayers to identify if a PFA request is appropriate for their situation.
• Updated guidelines to help businesses align PFA submissions with tax deadlines.
