The Senate this week unanimously passed a bill to fix IRS notices for filers who make simple mistakes on their tax returns .

The legislation, known as the Internal Revenue Service Math and Taxpayer Help Act, or IRS MATH Act, cleared the House earlier this year. It is now headed to President Donald Trump 's desk for signature.

Currently, the IRS sends filers so-called " math error notices " when it finds basic math or clerical mistakes on tax returns. The notices cover the agency's proposed changes and additional taxes owed.

During tax year 2023, the IRS sent more than one million math error notices, for over 1.2 million mistakes, according to the agency's latest Data Book. By comparison, the agency sent about 700,000 notices for roughly 850,000 math errors for tax year 2022.
