The 87,000 figure includes hires across the IRS, including information technology and taxpayer services. More than half of the IRS workforce is close to retirement, and the plan was created with that exodus in mind.

. Among other purposes, the agency says it will use the money to target high-income earners and corporations."Democrats are voting to add an army of 87,000 IRS agents who will target middle class taxpayers and conduct at least 1 million more audits each year," Good tweeted on Aug. 10. Good represents the 5th Congressional District, spanning from Danville north past Charlottesville to Warrenton.

Good’s office didn’t get back to us to explain where he got his information, but his statement is misleading.assessment of how it would use $80 billion to improve IRS operations. The report said the IRS would add 86,852 new full-time positions. But even in the 2021 plan, not all of the hires would be auditors or work in enforcement. The report said the money would go toward many things, including"hiring new specialized enforcement staff, modernizing antiquated information technology, and investing in meaningful taxpayer service."

Although the agency’s staff would increase, it’s key to note that more than half of the IRS workforce is close to retirement. The plan was created with that exodus in mind.

Brady took the audit rates of 2010 and applied them to the number of tax returns in 2018 — broken down by income groups. Using his approach, he claimed there would be about 710,000 more audits for filers reporting less than $75,000 in income.
