Rep. Jason Smith (R-Mo.) said Tuesday that the Biden administration is planning to go back to historic IRS audit levels, “which if you go back to 2010,” means 710,000 new audits for those making less than $75,000 a year.”
On Republican efforts to stop the Biden administration from using the IRS to go after middle-class Americans through the hiring of 87,000 IRS employees, Smith said, “Eight months ago, House Democrats, the White House, they passed the Inflation Reduction Act, this $80 billion for IRS, and we have been waiting for a plan. What they released last week was not a plan.
