Robert Kovacev commented on the potential for increased IRS enforcement actions in 2023. "Issues that a year ago a revenue agent might have taken a pass on because of lack of resources, now, with funding guaranteed, that revenue agent may decide to pursue," Kovacev said. He said the new funding would augment the IRS's ability to use AI and data to analyze returns, creating a "force multiplier" for the agency to step up its investigations, determine tax trends, and increase enforcement efforts.
