However, CNBC again emphasized that doing the aforementioned \u201cbasic things\u201d \u2014 as well as \u201capplying for payment plans\u201d and \u201cmonitoring stimulus checks\u201d \u2014 will require facial identification.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the Biden administration\u2019s IRS also drew ire for a plan that would have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-dems-want-to-monitor-americans-bank-accounts-blasted-as-violating-4th-amendment\">compelled<\/a> banks to report gross account inflows and outflows to the IRS for transactions of $600 or more. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/janet-yellen-endorses-irs-plan-to-monitor-all-bank-transactions-above-600\">brushed<\/a> off concerns about the plan during an interview with CNBC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, on every bank account that earns more than $10 a year in interest, the banks report the interest or into the IRS,\u201d she explained. \u201cThat\u2019s part of the information base that includes W2s and reports on dividends and other income that taxpayers have earned, so collection of information is routine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt comes from places where the information on income is opaque and can be hidden,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd a simple way for the IRS to get a sense of where that might be is just a few pieces of information about individuals\u2019 bank accounts, nothing at the transaction level that would violate privacy, simply aggregate inflows into the account over the year and aggregate outflows. That would really help the IRS target their auditing resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Taxpayers\u2019 Protection Alliance Vice President of Policy Patrick Hedger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-dems-want-to-monitor-americans-bank-accounts-blasted-as-violating-4th-amendment\">blasted<\/a> the policy: \u201cThe IRS is first and foremost a law enforcement agency and the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures in pursuit of looking for wrongdoing and criminal actions, so I think this is going to run into severe Fourth Amendment headwinds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More recently, the IRS <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/irs-adjusts-tax-brackets-as-inflation-hits-30-year-high\">announced<\/a> that it would adjust federal income tax brackets and deductions in light of high inflation in the United States. The move is meant to prevent \u201cbracket creep\u201d \u2014 the phenomenon of inflation pushing taxpayers into higher income tax brackets or reducing the value of credits, deductions, and exemptions, resulting in higher taxes without higher income.<\/p>\n<p>For individual filers, the brackets are as follows:<\/p>\n<p><em>10% \u2014 Income up to $10,275<\/em><em>12% \u2014 Income between $10,275 and $41,775<\/em><em>22% \u2014 Income between $41,775 to $89,075<\/em><em>24% \u2014 Income between $89,075 to $170,050<\/em><em>32% \u2014 Income between $170,050 to $215,950<\/em><em>35% \u2014 Income between $215,950 to $539,900<\/em><em>37% \u2014 Income over $539,900<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the individual standard deduction rose by $400 \u2014 from $12,550 to $12,950. For married couples, the standard deduction rose by $800 \u2014 from $25,100 to $25,900.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
