IRS will no longer publish an index to the IRB starting with IRB 2015–01, due to the availability of electronic search tools, In addition, the following section will be eliminated from the IRB; “INTERNAL REVENUE BULLETINS ON CD-ROM” and “CUMULATIVE BULLETINS.”
As of March 11, 2013, Announcement 2013–12, IRB 2013–11, the IRS ceased publishing printed copies of the IRB, rendering the index for printed copy unnecessary. Announcement 2014–27 published July 7, 2014, I.R.B. 120, cited that due to the availability of electronic search tools, and after a 90 day comment period, the index would be removed from the IRB.
The IRB was available annually as part of Publication 1796 (Tax Products CD-ROM). This product was discontinued in 2012. The weekly Internal Revenue Bulletins are available at www.irs.gov/irb.
The Internal Revenue Bulletin is produced and published by the Internal Revenue Service and contains IRS pronouncements affecting tax analysis under the Code and the Regulations, including but not limited to Revenue Procedures, Revenue Rulings, Notices and Announcements. Access the IRS site at https://www.irs.gov/help/irsgov-accessibility for information concerning accessibility of IRS materials. While every effort has been made to ensure that the IRB database files available through the TouchTax application are accurate, those using TouchTax for legal research should verify their results against the printed versions of the IRBs available from the IRS.
