Report No. GAO-21-162
Summary:

In FY20, the IRS collected over $3.5 trillion in taxes, which makes up most of the federal government's revenues. Accordingly, the IRS's financial management is important to Congress and taxpayers.

We audit the IRS's financial statements each year and issue an opinion on them, as well as on the effectiveness of the IRS's internal controls (e.g., its ability to ensure that transactions are properly authorized and recorded).

In FY20, we found that the IRS's financial statements were reliable and its controls over financial reporting were effective, although the IRS could improve its controls over unpaid taxes and financial reporting systems.
