The IRS is about to get a lot more nosy.
If Democrats succeed in passing their new climate and budget package this month, it will add some $80 billion to the IRS over the next decade, with the majority of that going to enforcement.
The result will be a “supercharged” tax agency, with roughly 65% more funding to investigate, audit, talk to and collect from Americans.
“Despite a long history of IRS abuses, Democrats have revived their proposal to send 87,000 new IRS agents after you and your family-owned business on the belief that everyone is a tax cheat,” congressional Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee charged this week.
