IRS Recovers $1.3 Billion from Wealthy Tax Dodgers

Enhanced enforcement under the Inflation Reduction Act targets high-income non-filers, yielding significant tax collections.

The IRS initiative targeted 125,000 wealthy individuals who hadn't filed taxes since 2017.
Nearly 21,000 of these taxpayers have filed, resulting in $172 million in recovered taxes.
Around 80% of 1,600 millionaires with delinquent taxes have paid, adding over $1.1 billion.
Modernization efforts include the Direct File program, expanding to more states for the 2025 tax season.
Republicans criticize the IRS funding, arguing it could lead to increased audits on middle-class Americans.
