Tell the acting IRS Commissioner: Continue to use your authority to crack down on wealthy tax cheats while you still can!
Over the past year, the IRS has made incredible strides in cracking down on tax evasion and improving taxpayer services. The agency has collected $1.3 billion from wealthy tax cheats and provided faster, better service to everyday taxpayers.
This progress is proof of what a well-funded and empowered IRS can achieve.
But now, everything is at risk. Donald Trump has proposed dismantling IRS enforcement by firing agents or reassigning them to the border:
This reckless plan is a direct attack on tax fairness and would allow the wealthiest individuals and corporations to avoid paying their fair share.
Weakening IRS enforcement means vital public programs like education, healthcare, and infrastructure lose out on critical funding.
We cannot let this happen. Every dollar the IRS collects from tax evaders goes toward building a better, more equitable society. It’s time to stand up for a tax system that works for everyone—not just the wealthy few.
Let’s protect the progress we’ve made and ensure the IRS continues its critical work for years to come.
Tell the acting IRS Commissioner to reject Trump’s plan and stay focused on holding wealthy tax cheats accountable.
To: Acting IRS Commissioner Douglas O’Donnell
President Donald Trump has proposed dismantling IRS enforcement by firing thousands of agents or reassigning them to border-patrol duties—a move that not only defies logic but also undermines the agency’s core mission.
Redirecting resources away from tax enforcement and into politically motivated distractions risks undoing the progress the IRS has made all while eroding public trust in the tax system. The IRS plays an essential role in upholding tax fairness and ensuring that all Americans contribute their fair share to fund vital public services.
Over the past year, IRS leadership has resulted in extraordinary progress: the collection of more than $1.3 billion from wealthy tax cheats and a dramatic improvement in taxpayer services, including faster response times and reduced filing backlogs. These achievements demonstrate the critical importance of a strong and well-resourced IRS.
We urge you to stay the course and resist political pressure to divert the IRS from its mission. By continuing to prioritize enforcement against high-income tax evaders and delivering top-notch service to everyday taxpayers, you are not only upholding the agency’s mandate but also ensuring fairness and accountability in our nation’s finances.
Thank you for your dedication to protecting tax fairness and ensuring the IRS fulfills its essential role in our democracy. We stand ready to support your efforts to resist these political distractions and to keep the agency focused on its vital work.
