Groundwork’s Lindsay Owens Criticizes $20B Freeze on IRS Enforcement Funding in Latest Spending Bill

“It’s clear Congressional Republicans are paving the way for the Trump Administration to make it open season for tax cheats.”

Yesterday, Congress released the text of the latest short-term funding bill, which includes a freeze on an additional $20 billion in IRS funding. Groundwork Collaborative Executive Director Lindsay Owens reacted with the following statement:

“The IRS has collected $4.7 billion in back taxes from wealthy tax cheats thanks to funding from the Inflation Reduction Act. But since its passage, Republicans have clawed back nearly half of the enforcement budget to make it easier for the ultra-wealthy to get away with not paying their share. “It’s clear Congressional Republicans are paving the way for the Trump Administration to make it open season for tax cheats.”
