This RFI/Sources Sought is issued solely for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as either a solicitation or the obligation on the part of Government. This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts or quotations. This notice is for market research purposes only. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement or any follow-up information requests. The Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in support of its examination units (i.e., Large Business and International (LB&I)) is seeking information on potential tax software for pass-through entities to improve operational efficiency and security. This tax software would automate tax calculations and generate IRS examination reports for income tax examinations of pass-through entities (including partnerships, S corporations and trusts). Although there are several technological and conceptual guardrails within which the solution would likely need to function, the IRS does not have a predefined idea of how a successful solution would need to function. The current tax software used for pass-through entities will not be supported in the future and must be replaced. The IRS is seeking a cloud solution that will integrate (plug and play) with both legacy case management systems as well as Enterprise Case Management (ECM) and that has the capability to transition from legacy case management systems to ECM. The solution could be a server-based solution (SBS) for online users. SBS will require server-based licenses, infrastructure/server environment set up, and a common service layer that can connect to the tax software Application Programming Interfaces (API’s)/Middleware as well as other calculators in the suite of tax calculators (ex, API, bridge/plug-in/connector).
