The act allocates approximately $80 billion in additional funding to the IRS over the next decade. This funding is intended to enhance taxpayer services, modernize technology, and increase enforcement efforts against high-income individuals and corporations. The IRS aims to use these resources to address the tax gap (the difference between taxes owed and taxes paid) and improve tax compliance, generating additional revenue for the government.
