The proposal to toughen enforcement of IRS tax collections was dropped after firm opposition from Senate Republicans.
Sen. Rob Portman speaks during a hearing on consideration of statehood for the District of Columbia in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on June 22, 2021 in Washington, DC.He added:"That created quite a problem because the general agreement is that this is the bipartisan-negotiated infrastructure package and that we will stick with that.
After years of IRS budget cuts, the latest version of the proposal provided $40 billion in new funding to the department, which would have enabled its enforcement division to beef up enforcement of unpaid taxes. The proposal suggested that it could allow the IRS to collect about $100 billion more in revenue over the next decade as a way to pay for the $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

U.S. senators drop tax enforcement from bipartisan infrastructure bill -PortmanU.S. lawmakers trying to salvage a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill have dropped a provision to beef up tax enforcement, Republican Senator Rob Portman said on Sunday, setting aside a significant revenue-raising measure. The provision, aimed at increasing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) collections, will instead likely be added to a separate budget 'reconciliation' bill being pushed by Democrats as a vehicle for passing trillions of dollars more in spending and tax increases, Portman said on CNN's State of the Union program. President Joe Biden has said he wants to invest $80 billion in IRS technology and enforcement to increase collections of taxes by $700 billion over 10 years.
