“On our very first bill, we’re going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said. GOPs rolled out an agenda detailing the party’s legislative priorities should it retake control of the House in November’s midterm elections.
“‘On our very first bill, we’re going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents. Our job is to work for you, not go after you.’”
“On that very first day that we’re sworn in, you’ll see that it all changes,” the California Republican said at an event in Monongahela, Pa. “Because on our very first bill, we’re going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents. Our job is to work for you, not go after you. Our job is to make America stronger.” And see: Fact check: No, the IRS is not hiring an 87,000-strong military force with funds from the Inflation Reduction Act
McCarthy previously claimed the provision would cause increased audits for those making less than $75,000 annually. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has directed the IRS not to use any of the new funding to increase audits of households making less than $400,000 annually “relative to historical levels.”
Still, Republicans remain skeptical that the funding won’t be used to audit middle- and lower-income families. “They’ve changed regulations so they can look at your bank accounts of $600 or more transactions,” he continued, referring to a new rule requiring services such as Venmo and PayPal PYPL, -0.79% to report commercial transactions of more than $600.
