The bottom line is this: These resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small business or middle-income Americans. The investment of these important resources is designed to support honest, compliant taxpayers. Our investment is designed around a Treasury directive that audit rates do not rise relative to recent years for households making under $400,000.
We all want a fair and impartial system where everyone contributes their fair share, no more and certainly no less. A robust, visible tax enforcement effort focused on high-end tax evaders and those supporting them is a priority. Underpayments by tax evaders shift the burden of operating our great country onto honest, hard-working Americans who follow the law.
With this new law, honest taxpayers will see badly needed, meaningful service improvements at the IRS. The IRS should be able to answer the phones and process information - including tax returns - in a timely manner. Enhanced IT systems and taxpayer services will mean that honest taxpayers will be better able to comply with the tax laws, ultimately resulting in a lower - yes, lower - likelihood of being audited and a reduced burden on them.
To set the record straight on this important legislation and dispel any lingering misperceptions, here are some key facts to keep in mind:
False Statement: The IRS is hiring 87,000 armed special agents to harass taxpayers.
Reality: Absolutely false. The majority of new hires the IRS makes will be those who answer the phones, work on processing individual tax returns or go after high-end taxpayers or corporations who are avoiding their taxes.

It’s like I tell my not-so-swift RINO brother: “You have nothing to hide … until you do.”
You mean....you’re going to audit congressional Democrats? And Shrillary?
Obama weaponized the IRS against conservative taxpayers. Make no mistake, FJB is following Obama’s marching orders with his IRS battalions.
And I’ve got some nice Ocean Front property in Kansas you might be interested in.
Missing from this is the simple factual point:
NOBODY KNOWS WHAT TAX LAWS APPLY AND THE DETAILS OF THOSE LAWS.
The U.S. federal tax laws are so complicated, no honest taxpayer can actually figure them out.
IRS agents DO NOT NEED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF FIREARMS as recently authorized by federal law unless they plan on having many gun battles with taxpayers.
The house can nip this in the bud next year by not funding these extra IRS agents
The Fair Tax eliminates all this BS.
Just Sayin’...
NO ONE BELIEVES YOU
They are going after the underground income. People who deal in cash and barter. They will take an assessment of whether the reported income supports the lifestyle and impute an income. The taxpayer will get a bill. Good luck.
Yes, they can. But they won’t, regardless of the outcome of the mids.
< sarcasm> Just because they have done it before doesn’t mean they will do it again. < /sarcasm>
Exactly
You could have 5 different IRS agents help you with your taxes and end up with 5 different results.
If only one is ‘correct’ all others are tax evasion. Prison for you comrade!
You are correct sir.
Sooo, what did Obama mean when he stated?….
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
And what did Gen Milley mean when being quizzed at a congressional hearing he stated; “the biggest threat to the U.S. is domestic terrorism”? And, who specifically was he referring to?
So, they are going after AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)?
Trust me, I’m here to help.
Exactly. An armed IRS goon is not there to help and support you.
Total BS! To these pocket protector green eyeshades everybody is a potential tax cheat until proven otherwise and the only way to do it is an audit.
