It proposes implementing an Enhanced Tax Administration and Payroll System (ETTPS) to help states more effectively capture tax data, conduct field work to audit payers, and integrate new technologies to boost revenue collection. The system aims to help states increase internally generated revenue through a more efficient tax system and reduce reliance on volatile federal allocations.
