The Biden administration used Tax Day to make a renewed push for $80 billion more funding for the IRS, touting its work not only processing tax returns but doling out cash from spending packages.
'Today’s deadline is an inflection point in what has been the agency’s most challenging filing season in recent history,' Natasha Sarin, Counselor for Tax Policy and Implementation, wrote in a statement. 'This is the byproduct of chronic underfunding that has starved the IRS of the tools it needs to serve the American people, coupled with a historic pandemic that introduced new responsibilities alongside mammoth challenges.'
President Biden's House-passed Build Back Better plan contained $80 billion to beef up IRS enforcement, aimed at upgrading outdated computer systems and to address the tax gap - the $600 billion in taxes that goes unpaid each year, according to the administration.
