An entirely new, totally integrated system of tax forms, schedules, worksheets, and institutions for individual taxpayers was designed. The new system simplifies unfamiliar tax terms, provides step-by-step instructions, and improves the visual elements—headings, typeface, format—that guide taxpayers through the form.
Some benefits: reduced errors and more accurate returns; faster completion times; a flexible format, adaptable to changes in regulations; assisting taxpayers by providing tax tips and highlighting new regulations.
