More than $80 billion for President Joe Biden’s plan to double the size of the IRS workforce by adding 87,000 new agents would be rescinded by a proposal introduced on Sept. 26 by Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chair Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana.

The $80 billion was included in the recently enacted $739 billion Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
