The IRS Estimates Inflation Reduction Act Will Recover $560 Billion from Wealthy Tax Evaders

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) expects to collect an additional $561 billion in default and unpaid taxes, according to new data from the Treasury Department and the IRS. This significant increase, driven by the Inflation Reduction Act, will primarily come from wealthy tax evaders.

Increased Tax Collections Expected

Previously, the IRS underestimated the total amount that could be recovered from high-earners who fail to pay their tax obligations. The Inflation Reduction Act has now enabled the IRS to close the tax gap, allowing them to collect a substantial amount more in unpaid taxes. This update will have significant implications for both the IRS and wealthy individuals.

Impact on Wealthy Tax Evaders

The Inflation Reduction Act primarily targets high-income individuals who have been avoiding their tax obligations. By implementing new strategies to close the tax gap, the IRS expects a surge in tax collections, primarily from these wealthy tax evaders.

Future Implications of the Inflation Reduction Act

This huge increase in tax collections is a direct result of the Inflation Reduction Act. It demonstrates the Act’s efficiency in ensuring tax compliance, particularly among the wealthy. Going forward, the IRS will likely continue to focus on strategies that target high-earning individuals and corporations to narrow the tax gap further.
