READOUT: Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo
Convenes Roundtable Discussion on How IRS Modernization
Will Improve Service for Small Businesses
February 14, 2023

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo led a
roundtable discussion with nearly 20 stakeholders on IRS e orts to use resources provided by
the Inflation Reduction Act to upgrade customer service for small businesses.
During the conversation, Deputy Secretary Adeyemo highlighted how improvements to
customer service on the phone, online, and in-person will benefit small business owners,
ensuring small business owners file accurate returns that are processed more quickly, and that
they are able to access credits and benefits for which they are eligible in a timely manner. He
also discussed ways in which a better-resourced IRS can make the tax code fairer by ensuring
wealthy Americans and large corporations canʼt evade the taxes they owe.
The Deputy Secretary and national advocates were joined by U.S. Treasury o icials, including
Chief Implementation O icer Laurel Blatchford.
Todayʼs roundtable was part of an ongoing series of convenings the Deputy Secretary has
held since the IRA was passed in August. In addition to hearing from small business owners
and advocates, Deputy Secretary Adeyemo has also convened roundtables with labor leaders,
climate change organizations, renewable energy investors, and civil rights leaders.
