Tell Congress: Don’t cut critical IRS funding

With a December 20 government funding deadline approaching, Congressional Republicans are working to slash over $20 billion from IRS enforcement.

This money is currently frozen, and therefore out of reach of the IRS. Unless Congress adds what’s called an “anomaly” to any Continuing Resolution to fund the government, it will remain frozen — over 90% of the enforcement money that the IRS received to crack down on rich tax cheats will be unavailable, and the IRS won’t have sufficient enforcement funds for 2025.

The choice is clear: We can continue making progress toward a fair tax system, or we can let Republicans drag us back to a time when the wealthy played by different rules than the rest of us.

Tell Congress: Don't cut IRS funding in the end-of-year government funding bill. Stop wealthy tax cheats from avoiding paying what they owe.

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~lastName},

I urge you to block an additional $20 billion of cuts to IRS enforcement funding by ensuring an anomaly is added to any Continuing Resolution. Without this language, the year-end bill will automatically repeat earlier cuts to the IRS’ Inflation Reduction Act enforcement funding, forcing the IRS to stop its efforts to catch rich tax cheats in 2025.

Recent investments in the IRS have yielded tremendous results, from recovering $1.3 billion in unpaid taxes from wealthy Americans, to dramatically improving customer service for law-abiding taxpayers, to launching Direct File to help Americans file taxes for free. These improvements help working families even as increased enforcement ensures wealthy tax cheats pay what they owe.

Cutting IRS funding now would be a devastating setback for the cause of tax fairness for working families and a terrible signal to send in advance of next year’s fight over the expiration of parts of the 2017 tax law. I urge you to protect IRS funding and continue the progress we've made in creating a tax system that works for everyone.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
