Original Note:
These new hires were mostly for admin roles, not enforcement, and around 2/3rds were intended to replace outgoing employees. The add’l funding for enforcement was to allow auditing of high-income earners like Musk, who are much harder for an underfunded IRS to audit. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/irs-87000-new-agents/ https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/The-American-Families-Plan-Tax-Compliance-Agenda.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20250122003451/https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0918
