The $80 billion budget was directed toward the IRS' customer service and tax enforcement. Aside from adding staff, the agency plans to use its new funds to deploy new technologies within the same timeframe.
The IRS released the 148-page report called the Strategic Operating Plan that revealed the agency's hiring plans and other projects. Wally Adeyamo, the U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary, gave a statement to reporters regarding the agency's plans.
Adeyamo: "The IRS is going to hire more data scientists than they ever have for enforcement purposes,"
The IRS plans to add 8,782 new enforcement staff for fiscal years 2023 and 2024. This would cost $8.64 billion out of the total budget. The agency also plans to add 5,000 new customer service staff, specifically in taxpayer service, in the next few months.
