The agency’s new report tells us practically nothing of significance.
Last year, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen gave the newly-enriched IRS a February 17 deadline for releasing a report detailing how the agency would use its $80 billion cash infusion—the largest in the agency's history—over the next 10 years.
The IRS, notoriously keen on imposing deadlines on everyone else, blew past its own, finally releasing the report yesterday—48 days late, for those counting.
Unfortunately, very little information of substance was contained within.
Though it's talked a big game about improving taxpayer services (customer service will soon become "world class," the agency claims), a paltry $3.2 billion will be devoted to that line item while $45.6 billion will go toward enforcement—some men with guns, but mostly auditors tasked with closing the tax gap, which is the difference between the amount owed and the amount that actually ends up in government coffers. The IRS, as of 2021, had a little under 80,000 employees; with the new cash infusion, the agency will hire almost 9,000 additional employees to work in enforcement, with another almost 14,000 in taxpayer services by the end of FY 2025.
Is there a line item for more ammo?
They should lose 5% per month unless yhey have an extension!
How about a tax refund?
I’d get fined for being 48 days late on filing my taxes, The IRS...not so much.
Do we get Penalties and Interest.... just asking for Harry Reid’s friend....
Buying votes? Funding Soros?

“I’d get fined for being 48 days late on filing my taxes, The IRS...not so much.”
Last year I received a letter from the IRS saying I owed them an additional $1.87. I sent a check and they cashed it.
Several months later they sent me a check for $1.87.
Bite your lip, and don’t hold your breath.
Heh...
But not 48 days late in auditing your tax return lol.
all your cats are belong to us.
They should be audited, after a 5:00am S.W.A.T. raid . . .
ready to kill the middleclass with audits
Totally unconstitutional to create a slush fund that an agency can use as it sees fit.
But Congress has abdicated its responsibility to write laws and spend money to the bureaucracy.
Relax.
Close your eyes and think of England.
