The House bill cuts the IRS budget by a record 23%, while the Senate bill quietly rescinds $11.7 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act’s modernization funds. These cuts would undermine tax fairness, delay refunds, and let wealthy tax cheats off the hook. For too long, the IRS has been underfunded, resulting in fewer audits of high-income households, endless call center wait times, and a widening $700 billion annual tax gap. The Inflation Reduction Act, enacted by President Biden and a Democratic Congress in 2022, finally turned things around: the IRS cracked down on wealthy tax dodgers, reduced call wait times from 28 minutes to just 3, and launched Direct File so Americans could prepare and submit their taxes online for free. Congress is now threatening to erase all that progress. These bills would make it easier for billionaires to stash profits overseas and make working families wait longer for their refunds. It’s a gift to wealthy elites at the expense of ordinary taxpayers. Tell Congress: Reject these cuts. Protect IRS funding so the agency can serve working families, enforce tax laws fairly, and hold the wealthy accountable. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-reject-irs-budget-cuts-that-help-billionaires-cheat
