The IRS hopes to increase tax audits on the wealthiest taxpayers tenfold under the Biden administration’s plan for the agency, according to a senior administration official and the IRS’s new strategic operating plan.
IRS and Treasury Department officials said Thursday that they will use $80 billion in new funding for the tax service to claw back unpaid balances from high-income earners and complex businesses — restoring audits on those taxpayers to higher rates from more than a decade ago — and boost customer service resources for middle- and low-income tax filers.

Given that the IRS has already been weaponized against conservatives, it is time to completely abolish the IRS and junk the entire tax code. Move to a federal consumption tax on the sale of new consumer goods and services. This is to be collected by states and transferred directly to the US Treasury. No more tax filings. No more income taxes. No more FICA/MCARE taxes. No more inheritance taxes. No more business taxes. All used goods, autos, homes, etc. are exempt. No more double taxation. No more rules and special programs for retirement. No more capital gains tax. No more interest and dividends tax. No more tax accountants. No more tax lawyers. No more lobbying for tax breaks and picking winners and losers.
Simple. Easy to Understand. You buy something new, then you pay a federal sales tax. Period.
This would make America the number one place in the world to do business. It is a necessary step in on-shoring manufacturing. It make every business more productive since time and money is will not be spent of taxes and taxes do not affect business decisions.
Send these scumbag irs employees to the eff’n unemployment line.
I’d rather the IRS audit the half that don’t pay taxes.
The “wealthy” being $100K or more, no matter what they say.
“Wealthy” appears be making more than $400,000 a year.
Whew, I’m safe.
If you are not 100% dependant and receiving Gov Benefits..
you are “ the wealthy”.
Wealthy = Anybody not on skid row. Plus a few on skid row.
The wealthy will be anyone with two coins to rub together.
I am sure that Bill, Hillary, Joe and Hunter will be exempt. Also Soros, Kerry and the rest of the communist mafia.
Even if a taskforce of ten goes after each billionaire, the leaves over 68,000 new agents. I’ll maintain these will be marginally trained people who just follow a script and get money by intimidation. They will just be IRS Robo-callers hammering people with tax law.
So Congress went ahead and funded it?
What a bunch of fckn liars. I am done with these worthless turds.
Yeah, last year. It was part of the Inflation Reduction Act
Does anyone think soros/gates/clinton/bezos/biden will be audited?
If the house gave a crap, which they don’t, they could shut down the government and point to this single issue.
On this the country would be united.
“Wealthy” is a code word meaning white heterosexual Christian with a non-government source of income who speaks his or her mind online and owns a gun and/or buys ammo.
Or most of the above.
Good thing we have a majority in Congress. Pathetic POS. ALL OF THEM.
>> Yeah, last year. It was part of the Inflation Reduction Act
If I remember correctly, We The People were hanging by a slender thread named Joe Manchin, and it unraveled. And here we are.
But does not promise
The wealthy can afford accountant and lawyer firms.

The IRS is just as weaponized as every other three lettered agency and State Department. They are being used against anyone that steps out of line, like the guys reporting the Twitter Files. IRS shows up at their doorstep during Congressional testimony. Disgusting Congress skank denigrates them, calling them, “So Called Reporters”.
Bloody John McCain had his hand in the IRS attacking Tea Party. Thar was THE BEGINNING.
