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.

A tax evader is defined as anyone who uses a long form to report their taxes.
Considering the way they have treated honest, tax paying citizens in the past, they are lying through their teeth.
We are guilty until we prove ourselves innocent in their eyes and they know it and we know it.
Everything the left has to say is a lie. Presume the opposite when they feign innocence or good will.
IF.. and that’s a big IF… the GOP stumbles into the majority from these midterms, does the likely Speaker Kevin McCarthy strike you as someone with the kind of courage to stand against the IRS?
You can keep your doctor and your plan and save money. Just believe us—we are only after the Rich—But that will mean anyone Not on Welfare!
Sounds familiar. They’re clearly following the FBI playbook.
Did you find some change that someone left behind in a coin return?
The new auditors will make sure you pay up, deadbeat.
Gonna make Al Sharpton pay up that $4 million? What about Jesse Jackson? Hunter Biden? Yeah, didn’t think so. They’re coming after the middle class, fully armed.
& if he has money left, he ha obviously not paid his fair share, especially if he voted incorrectly.
“So what’s all the ammo for?”
For when they audit the Crypts, Bloods, La Raza, and MS13 to make them pay their fair share. lol
Remember all that “cash back” rewards you used to pay down your credit card balance or perhaps that 3¢/gal discount your loyalty card got you at the gas pump?
“We’re here to help”
For such reasons the Founders intended for Fed.gov to be funded by tariffs- which is where DJT was taking us.
The target isn’t going to be the superrich. It’s going to be the ordinary rich, car dealers and other independent businesspeople who might give money to the opposition. Obviously the billionaires who gave to the Democrats didn’t vote to put themselves in handcuffs.
But it will cost the innocent ones $30,000 to defend themselves.
Bull S***!
Tax avoidance (deductions) is not illegal, they can try to deny but if you stay under the radar, you’ll be fine. Tax evasion is what you go to jail for.
We just need states to collect a national sales tax with state sales taxes. The states transfer collection to the US Treasury. No more IRS. Finally, lazy ass government employees standing in the unemployment line.
Yes, because the Congress relied on the 200 billion plus dollars that would supposedly be raised from increased tax collection as their reason for passing the bill to fund the new IRS employees. Their reasoning is that the extra auditing will increase the amount of money they collect.
Sounds like those 87,000 IRS employees are not going to be serving as advocates for the taxpayers.
Is it $400,000 gross? A small business might have $400,000 gross to make $20,000 profit. Then they will have to pay for a tax attorney.
This will be very disruptive.
