Return to Tax Stats home page
Many areas within the IRS maintain data on costs, workload, employees, and other internal activities. These data are published for each fiscal year in the IRS Data Book (IRS publication 55B). Data tables within this publication are compiled by various areas within the IRS. These tables are then forwarded to SOI, where they are reviewed and put together for publication.
All data files on this page are available in Excel® version 4.0. A free Excel® viewer is available for download, if needed.

Some internal evaluation results are also available to the public. From 1995 to 1998, the IRS published data on its own internal audits and security activities. Audits are broken out by type of audit and the staff time allocated for conducting these audits.
The internal security activities detail employee and non-employee violations by outcome, as well as various financial accomplishments.
Finally, on a yearly basis, the IRS publishes details of information returns received, number of contacts, and additional tax and interest assessed. These data can be found in the Information Reporting Program tables.
