Original Note:
Repeatedly debunked. The 87,000 figure refers to the total number of employees the IRS needs to hire over the next 10 years. IRS auditors are outnumbered by both customer service staff who help taxpayers with questions and problems and by seasonal data entry and mailing jobs. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/06/us/politics/irs-agents-fact-check.html
