On January 9th, 2023, the House of Representatives passed a bill rescinding $80 billion of additional funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that was previously passed by Congress and signed into law as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This new bill was passed strictly along party lines, meaning that Republicans favor removing the funding while Democrats oppose this change. For this reason, the bill is not expected to get past the Senate, which is controlled by the Democratic party. However, it begs the question of what is happening between the IRS and Congress.
