An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Americans Deserve Tax Fairness for ALL!

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I urge you to reject the proposed 23% cut to the IRS budget in the House’s FY2026 funding bill. This proposal, following an earlier $20 billion rescission, is a direct attack on the agency responsible for enforcing tax laws and holding the wealthy accountable. The IRS is one of the few parts of our government that makes money. Every $1 invested returns about $7 in revenue, largely from increased audits and enforcement on high-income individuals and large corporations. Gutting its budget would cost us tens of billions in lost revenue while enabling billionaires and powerful corporations to continue evading taxes. Under the Biden administration, IRS reforms were finally reversing years of enforcement decline. The agency cracked down on the top 1%, recovering over $1 billion from delinquent millionaires, and tripled audits of large corporations. This is real money for infrastructure, education, healthcare, and more. Cutting IRS funding now would reverse this progress and hand the advantage back to the tax cheats. Working families pay their taxes. So should the wealthiest Americans. I urge you to reject any cuts to IRS funding and instead support full investment in the agency’s enforcement and modernization efforts. Please protect tax fairness and reject the proposed 23% IRS budget cut.
