Accenture Federal Services said it secured an up to $2.6 billion deal with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for modernizing the government tax agency’s systems.
Accenture Federal Services will have to compete for future orders to support the IRS with creating new ways for taxpayers and professionals to interact with the agency.
Earlier this month, the IRS said it would launch a free, government-provided direct tax filing option next year, which could result in the launch of a full-scale IRS filing system on par with private tax prepapers such as TurboTax-parent Intuit.
