The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) represents the most significant investment in the Internal Revenue Service in decades, fundamentally reshaping the future of tax administration, enforcement, and taxpayer services. This online course provides tax and accounting professionals with a clear, practical analysis of how the IRS is deploying approximately $80 billion in funding—and what those changes mean for practitioners and their clients.
