bill would end up hurting lower- and middle-class taxpayers, rather than the billionaires advertised by Democrats.
During the news conference, Republicans pointed to a Joint Committee on Taxation analysis from last year about revenue from underreported income indicating that lower- and middle-class households could be in line for higher tax bills. “If you have 87,000 auditors coming on board, only 4%-9% of that tax gap is in those making more than $500,000. They must have to go, in their audits, after those in the lower income categories,” Sen. Mike Crapo told reporters. “And that’s what my colleagues are complaining about.”
Regarding taxpayer services, Lankford said he has constituents who have told him they have had to wait on hold with the IRS for hours or even days and others who said they have been working on a single case with the IRS for years without answers.
