House GOP proposes IRS funding cuts, defunding free tax filing system

Republican appropriators in the House are proposing to scale back IRS funding and to do away with the free online tax filing system that the Treasury Department recently made permanent and promised to expand to additional states.

It also reduces IRS funding for 2025 by $2.2 billion below the fiscal year 2024 level to $10.1 billion, slashing enforcement funding in particular by $2 billion.
