The Internal Revenue Service has started off a crowdsourcing challenge to solicit ideas from the public on a new website design the agency believes could help taxpayers navigate the online IRS portal.

The IRS announced the challenge Friday and held the the kickoff meeting for the Tax Design Challenge Sunday in Washington, where participants engaged with policy experts about financial capability challenges and networked with mentors.

A winning participant will receive a $10,000 grand prize award and participants could also win $2,000 for offerings the IRS dubs as “best taxpayer usefulness” or “best financial capability.”

The IRS started the challenge as part of efforts to address issues such as identity theft, unauthorized access and access to interactive services.

Contestants will design the website to map out taxpayer experiences when they search for their information on an IRS portal.

The General Services Administration has unveiled a $947 million investment plan to support the construction and renovation works on federal courthouses in eight communities across the U.S.

Denise Turner Roth, GSA administrator and inductee into Executive Mosaic’s Wash100 for 2016, said Monday the investment seeks to address security and space challenges in federal court buildings, as well as promote economic development in local communities.

Feasibility studies on the Judiciary’s housing needs in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, will get $29.5 million in funds under the investment plan, which requires approval of appropriations committees in both chambers of Congress.

GSA will spend $787 million on the construction of new courthouses in Tennessee, Iowa, South Carolina, Alabama and Texas.

Alteration and repair works on court buildings in Georgia, Ohio and North Carolina will get $160 million in funds under the investment program.

A House bill sponsored by Reps. Derek Kilmer (D-Wash.) and Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) seeks to establish an “open by default” standard for government data, FCW reported Thursday.

FCW reports the Open, Public, Electronic and Necessary Government Data Act would mandate agencies to publish enterprise-wide data inventories online in a machine-readable open format.

Sens. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) plan to introduce a companion bill, the report said.

Kilmer said the OPEN Government Data Act will build on the White House’s open data policy and allow agencies and the public to access enterprise data inventory on Data.gov, Federal News Radio’s Meredith Somers wrote in a separate article published Thursday.

The inventory will include data assets related to program administration, statistical or financial activity and generated by information applications, devices, networks or equipment, according to Somers’ report.
