John,
One year ago, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law, which made the largest-ever investment in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This investment allows the IRS to crack down on the wealthy tax cheats who evade $160 billion in taxes each year.[1]
It also allows the IRS to better serve the American people, cutting down on wait times during tax season and speeding up the processing of tax returns. It is also allowing the IRS to create the first-ever “Direct File” free, online tax-filing system.
Unfortunately, that funding is under threat by House Republicans who seek to revoke $67 billion out of the total $80 billion invested over 10 years. They want to make it easier for their wealthy donors to keep cheating on their taxes.
When Congress returns next month, they plan to vote on multiple GOP bills that attack the investments we’ve made in the IRS. Donate today to protect those investments and allow the IRS to crack down on wealthy tax cheats while better serving the American people.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:
We know that when the wealthy pay what they owe, we can invest in working families and our future.
Thank you,
David Kass
