How Makpar Supports the IRS in the Wake of the One Big Beautiful Bill
The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill (OB3) presents new opportunities for the IRS to reform the taxpayer experience and implement policy changes that make filing simpler, fairer, and more efficient. To do this, especially considering the current ongoing funding and staffing challenges, these improvements must be achieved by reducing manual toil and streamlining compliance processes with automation.
At Makpar, we believe that the solution lies in modernizing IRS systems and architectures in a way that embeds compliance into daily operations, while also removing friction for taxpayers and IRS staff alike. To do this requires the use of digital platforms as accelerators for decision-makers, policy makers, and the end-users on the ground.
Why Reducing Toil Matters
Simplifying the taxpayer experience goes beyond just updating forms or tax guidance. It requires improving the underlying IT systems, business processes, and workflows that drive the compliance engine. Every manual handoff, redundant check, or legacy bottleneck adds toil for IRS teams and frustration for taxpayers.
Every legal change to the tax code requires changes at the infrastructure and process level within the IRS. Any delays and errors in this translation can cause significant downstream impact to taxpayers. By automating routine steps and aligning processes around modern architectures, the IRS can free up staff for higher-value tasks, accelerate compliance reviews, and deliver faster, error-free services.
Makpar engineers have already proven what this looks like in practice. We have codified and delivered tax policy changes at above-market speed with a 100 percent error-free deployment record in the largest Generalized Mainline Framework (GMF) system, ensuring that updates are implemented correctly the first time, without adding rework.
Connecting to Makpar’s Technology Roadmap
Our capability-led technology roadmap directly supports the IRS mission to reduce toil and strengthen compliance. Several initiatives stand out:
- Decision Intelligence: Unifying taxpayer and compliance data across IRS systems to identify errors, enforce policy consistently, and provide accurate information to decision-makers.
- Reusable Government Blueprints: FedRAMP-ready architectures that agencies can clone, extend, and scale, reducing redundant work and enabling consistent compliance across IRS programs.
- Digital Identity and Policy-as-Code: Modern authentication and policy layers that embed compliance rules into IRS systems, ensuring accurate application of tax law while reducing manual intervention.
These capabilities allow the IRS to implement changes with confidence, while minimizing the need for manual corrections and post-deployment fixes.
Building a More Compliant and Efficient IRS
The OB3 gives the IRS an opportunity to reimagine how it operates, driving sweeping improvements in efficiency and service delivery without additional funding or staff. By reducing toil and embedding compliance into system design, the agency can improve both taxpayer experiences and internal efficiency.
Makpar is ready to help. With proven expertise in federal modernization, a track record of effective deployments, and a roadmap built for mission alignment, we can support the IRS in turning OB3 into a catalyst for smarter compliance and better taxpayer services.
