"Commissioner Werfel is taking this issue seriously and is on the right track toward making the tax enforcement system fairer while striving to fully eliminate bias from its audit selection methods. I'm encouraged that the IRS is using IRA funding to help lower-income taxpayers get it right, in lieu of poorly targeted audits. For example, it is opening or re-opening 50 walk-in centers, leveraging technology to help answer questions and reduce wait times for those who need to call. I look forward to staying engaged with Commissioner on the issue, and thank him for his commitment to report back to Congress annually on his progress in eliminating all types of bias in audit selection."
