In previous versions of this bill, the Biden administration <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/daily-tax-report\/biden-poised-to-get-win-on-irs-funding-in-reconciliation-package\">estimated<\/a> that the new funding would allow the agency to hire up to 87,000 additional employees, according to Bloomberg Law.<\/p>\n<p>Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/ted-cruz-according-bidenomics-recession-means-hunky-dory\">told<\/a> Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity that the \u201cmassive influx\u201d of agents \u201care not there to go after the billionaires or the giant corporations they are there to go after you. They\u2019re going after small businesses. They are there to descend upon middle-class workers and audit the hell out of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the IRS denied such a characterization and said it would target high-net-worth Americans and corporations who are \u201cnoncompliant taxpayers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLarge corporate and high-net-worth taxpayers often engage teams of sophisticated representatives pursuing unsettled or sometimes questionable interpretations of tax law,\u201d Charles Rettig, the IRS commissioner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/08\/04\/business\/irs-audits-funding-congress.html\">said<\/a> before Congress this week, reported The New York Times. \u201cThe integrity and fairness of our tax administrative system relies upon the ability of our agency to maintain a strong, visible, robust enforcement presence directed to these and other similarly situated noncompliant taxpayers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board also warned that the IRS would go \u201cbeast mode\u201d if the Inflation Reduction Act becomes law.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bill earmarks $45.6 billion for \u2018enforcement,\u2019 including \u2018litigation,\u2019 \u2018criminal investigations,\u2019 \u2018investigative technology,\u2019 \u2018digital asset monitoring\u2019 and a new fleet of tax-collector cars,\u201d The Journal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-irs-is-about-to-go-beast-mode-chuck-schumer-joe-manchin-audit-taxes-middle-class-joe-biden-11659477320\">noted<\/a>. \u201cThe result will be far more audits, civil suits and criminal referrals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Journal asserted that the increased funding isn\u2019t related to a shortage of revenue, rather it is because of the federal government\u2019s increased spending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe federal government isn\u2019t starving for revenue,\u201d the paper claimed. \u201cCongress wants more tax revenue because it can\u2019t control its appetite for spending. That\u2019s why it wants a tax agency in beast mode.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bill looks likely to pass after Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/kyrsten-sinema-pushes-bidens-agenda-forward-agrees-to-democrat-tax-increases-and-climate-spending\">agreed to the package<\/a> Thursday evening. Sinema was the last Democrat to hold out on the bill due to its carried tax increase provision before an agreement was made Thursday to remove the provision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have agreed to remove the carried interest tax provision, protect advanced manufacturing, and boost our clean energy economy in the Senate\u2019s budget reconciliation legislation,\u201d Sinema said,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/sinema-agrees-move-forward-social-spending-tax-bill-after-dems-make-changes\">according<\/a>\u00a0to Fox News. \u201cSubject to the Parliamentarian\u2019s review, I\u2019ll move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-claims-legislative-deal-on-his-agenda-wont-raise-taxes-on-people-making-less-than-400k-report-says-otherwise\">released<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.finance.senate.gov\/imo\/media\/doc\/jct_distributional_effects_inflation_reduction_act.pdf\">data<\/a> last week from the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) that showed that taxes will increase in the calendar year 2023 for everyone under the plan except those making between $10,000 and $30,000 per year.<\/p>\n<p><em>Zach Jewell contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden\u2019s Inflation Reduction Act would allow the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to hire up to 87,000 new employees while increasing taxes for most Americans, according to multiple reports.
