          This letter transmits briefing slides based on our work to date in response to your
          requests for an interim assessment of the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) 2013
          filing season performance and a summary of IRS budget data. See appendix I for
          the briefing slides.

          Our briefing objectives were to (1) provide an assessment to date of IRS's 2013
          performance in processing tax returns, delivering refunds, and providing telephone
          service; and (2) describe IRS dollar and staffing trends for fiscal years 2010 to 2014
          and the reduction, by appropriation, to IRS resources due to sequestration.

          To conduct this work, we analyzed IRS workload, timeliness, and other data for
          processing returns, delivering refunds, and providing telephone service. We
          interviewed IRS officials and representatives of tax preparation and tax software
