Original Note:
This is inaccurate. The text of the bill does not specify the number of employees that could be hired. The funding is to hire replacements over the next 10 years. 50K IRS employees are set to leave or retire in the next FIVE (5) years. https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/taxes-verify/irs-not-increasing-audits-hiring-87k-new-agents-through-inflation-reduction-act/536-477cb699-a46e-4898-9e5e-0e48d5fffd2a https://time.com/6204928/irs-87000-agents-factcheck-biden/ https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-irs-bill/fact-check-social-media-posts-miss-key-context-on-inflation-reduction-acts-provision-for-thousands-of-new-irs-agents-idUSL1N2ZT27M https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2022/08/31/irs-is-not-hiring-an-army-of-auditors-whats-really-happening.html
