Great, how much is that increase in phone consultations costing taxpayers?

Maybe the people who get through, end up paying more taxes. So the new agents pay for themselves.

@Horace

The new agents will more than pay for themselves in toto, though clearly some, like these, are pure expense.

And every answered call gets a nice flag on their account! Hooray!

They’ve said the audit rate for people making <400k will remain unchanged. My guess is few people making over that are calling the IRS.

Not that the government would lie, or anything,,,

That’s why everyone receiving over $600 from Venmo will receive a 1099…

Speaking of which, ebay will be sending out 1099s as well. However, my understanding is that for infrequent or one-of sales that income is not reportable.

I often think of this humor come tax season:

Government: You owe us money. It’s called taxes.

Me: How much do I owe?

Gov’t: You have to figure that out.

Me: I just pay what I want?

Gov’t: Oh, no we know exactly how much you owe. But you have to guess that number too.

Me: What if I get it wrong?

Gov’t: You go to prison

It’s a good joke, but sort of unfair. Treasury has been trying for years to have the form pre-filled online for the vast majority of taxpayers but Congress blocks it every time, having been purchased by Intuit and H&R Block.

No, that’s not why and probably won’t lead to many audits. That change predates the IRA by over a year.

Also, if you’ve ever missed an income source like a 1099-int or a 1099, the IRS just sends a notice and a bill based on its calcs, with instructions on what to do if you disagree. So I can’t see it leading to a bunch of audits.
