Democrats and President Biden want to provide the IRS with another $80 billion in funding to crack down on tax cheats, but Republicans warn it could hurt low-income workers.
Former Council of Economic Advisers chairman Kevin Hassett analyzes the president's Inflation Reduction Act on"Cavuto: Coast to Coast."that is intended to help the agency crack down on wealthy tax cheats. However, Republican critics say that a bigger IRS could ultimately hurt lower-income Americans.. It has emerged as one of the most prominent financiers of the Inflation Reduction Act that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
The reason for that is a rise in what is known as "correspondence audits," meaning the IRS conducts reviews of tax returns via letters or phone calls rather than more complex face-to-face audits. Just a fraction — 100,000 of the 659,000 audits in 2021 – were conducted in person. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., left, talks with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., before the ceremony where President Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, March 15, 2022, in Washington, D.C.The discrepancy is primarily due to high-income taxpayers having complex investments that can easily shroud the gaps between taxes owed and paid vs. taxes reported and paid.
