Under the task order, Leidos will provide software programming and updates to the agency’s e-Services suite of software applications supporting tax practitioners and third parties doing business electronically with the IRS. Leidos will also support the software development, enhancement, and operation of ICCE, a suite of phone and web-based applications developed for taxpayers, facilitating responses to their questions using automated services. Both platforms are essential to creating modernized services that reduce cost for the IRS and facilitate secure and timely processing for taxpayers. Additionally, Leidos will collaborate with the IRS to improve its third party registration system, external facing APIs, and data sharing with federal agencies to help support future opportunities in-line with IRS’ business strategy.
