Exempt organization projects increase focus on DAFs

The U.S. Treasury Department and IRS today released the 2022-2023 Priority Guidance Plan.

The Priority Guidance Plan is used each year to identify and prioritize tax issues to be addressed through regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures, notices, and other published administrative guidance.

The 2022-2023 Priority Guidance Plan [PDF 245 KB] identifies guidance projects that the IRS and Treasury Department intend to work on as priorities during the 12-month period from July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. There are 205 guidance projects on the 2022-2023 priority guidance plan.
