New TEOS improvements webpage

As part of an ongoing effort to improve service for the tax-exempt community, the TEOS Modernization Team is focused on improving usability based on stakeholder feedback. The team recently enhanced public access to Form 990 series data by providing a range of descriptive information (metadata) on the new TEOS Improvements page. This new page features: 

• A comprehensive list of TE/GE public disclosure datasets that offers an overview of the available datasets on IRS.gov.
• Dataset guides that outline the type of data available, usage, data format and update schedules to aid users in understanding and utilizing the data effectively.
• Data dictionaries and indices that identify column headers and data elements in each dataset that provide clarity on the content and structure of the data.
• Annotated forms that illustrate the relationships between form field names and datasets.
• Redacted schemas tailored for non-software developers that simplify the understanding of the raw XML data files.
• A compiled FAQ document that addresses common inquiries and concerns regarding disclosure, datasets, and related topics.

Resources on the new webpage aim to improve accessibility and facilitate the public’s use of Form 990 series data, in addition to enhancing transparency and understanding within the tax-exempt community.
