Robert Kovacev was quoted on the impact on Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) tax enforcement with its new $80 billion in multiyear funds from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Of the roughly $80 billion, $45.6 billion is for enforcement. Kovacev said the IRS is "digging themselves out of a hole" because it had insufficient resources in enforcement for at least a decade. "Inevitably there's going to be some lag between when they get the money, when they spend the money, and when we will see an effect on the ground," he said.
