Dear John,
The nation’s wealthiest Americans evaded over $160 billion in taxes last year.
To crack down on these wealthy tax cheats, President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act includes an $80 billion investment in the IRS. This will enable the agency to go after private equity executives and corporations that use complex machinations to avoid paying their fair share.
This funding will also fund better responsiveness to taxpayers’ calls, speedier processing of returns, and a new free online filing system.
But now, House Republicans are trying to rescind $67 billion of the $80 billion already approved. If they succeed, they will enable their wealthiest benefactors to avoid meeting their legal tax responsibilities.
Fight back against Republican attempts to cut IRS funding. Send a direct message to your representative today!
Every dollar invested in the IRS provides a robust 7-to-1 return on investment.
In just a few months, the IRS has already collected over $38 million dollars from over 175 rich tax cheats. They have opened or reopened over 375 Taxpayer Assistance Centers, answered 2.4 million more calls from taxpayers, and they are ready to offer the new free tax filing software next year.
Full funding of the IRS brings full accountability to the rich and corporations who try to game the system to rip off over $100 billion every year.
Contact your representative today! Tell them not to let Republicans drastically cut our $80 billion investment that enables the IRS to better serve U.S. taxpayers.
Thank you for helping the IRS crack down on wealthy tax cheats and support the common good.
