An integral part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the NCHS issues a wide range of information and data on the health status of the U.S. population.

 

The information is used in reports submitted to policymakers across the government.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

The IRS collects the money that runs the government and allows America to function, grow and prosper. The IRS is one of the world's most efficient tax administrators, collecting more than $2 trillion annually or 93 percent of all government revenue, and it does so at a lower cost than any other industrialized nation, spending only 48 cents for each $100 collected. IRS employees apply the nation’s tax laws equitably, which helps America's taxpayers meet their tax responsibilities in a fair and consistent manner. In fiscal 2012, the IRS collected more than $2.5 trillion in revenue and processed more than 237 million tax returns.
