Did Joe Biden hire ‘85,000 new IRS agents to harass hard-working Americans’? No.
In May 2021, the Biden administration approved hiring 87,000 new Internal Revenue Service employees by 2031, but only a fraction are agents, and the majority are filling expected vacancies.
Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn said in a speech at the RNC that Biden has hired 85,000 new IRS agents to “harass hard-working Americans.”
But more than half of the agency’s current employees are eligible for retirement and are expected to leave the agency within the next five years. The IRS will be able to net 20,000 to 30,000 more employees from the new funding.
In 2022, among the IRS’ workforce of 79,000 employees, 10,000 are actually agents. Within that, 8,000 are revenue agents who audit tax filings and 2,000 investigate potential tax crimes.
So the IRS doesn't even employ 90,000 people, and the total number of IRS agents is only around 10,000.
Never believe any numbers being thrown out in the media by right wingers. They are allergic to the truth.
