WASHINGTON — The IRS unveiled a 10-year plan Thursday for going after upper-income households and bigger businesses that dodge taxes while also becoming a more nimble agency with top-tier customer service.
The IRS mapped out how it plans to use $80 billion that Democrats passed in August to pad the agency’s coffers after years of stagnant funding. It devoted the bulk of money to bolstering enforcement of the tax code.
“The plan released today is a bold look at what the future can look like for taxpayers and the IRS,” Commissioner Danny Werfel said Thursday on a call with reporters. “Now that we have long-term funding, the IRS has an opportunity to transform our operations and provide the service that people deserve.”
