The Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act is a proposed United States law that would rescind the expansion of the Internal Revenue Service included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.[1] It was the first bill to be introduced in the 118th Congress.
Proponents of the bill, Congressional Republicans, claim that the bill is necessary to protect middle-class Americans from increased audits and scrutiny from the IRS and hold the institution accountable.[1] Opponents of the bill, Congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden, claim that the bill would allow higher-income Americans to avoid paying taxes and would increase the national debt.[2]
The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 includes a provision that is based on this proposed act, rescinding $1.4 billion of the IRS expansion introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act.
It was previously introduced in the 117th congress.[3]
