What happened
Thomson Reuters has reported that the Internal Revenue Service has been closely monitoring the use of Artificial Intelligence within the tax and audit sectors. The agency is reportedly taking its first formal steps to establish AI guardrails, meaning compliance requirements are forthcoming for the industry. The IRS is reportedly updating its guidance in response to these issues.

Why it matters
The report notes that many tax and audit professionals lack access to professional-grade AI tools. Instead, they are experimenting with consumer-grade chatbots that often lack safeguards for confidential data or authoritative content. The IRS actions are focused on mitigating these risks.
