The bill substantially strengthens IRS enforcement, data use, and modernization to raise revenue and improve services, while imposing new taxes, penalties, reporting burdens, and privacy risks that raise costs for affected taxpayers and increase federal spending.
Most taxpayers: increased enforcement and IRS capacity will raise tax compliance and government revenue, helping fund public services and reducing unfair tax avoidance.
Taxpayers and tax professionals: $20 billion for business system modernization should speed processing, reduce errors, and make interactions with the tax system more reliable.
Taxpayers seeking help: $10 billion for taxpayer services will improve customer service, making filing and getting assistance easier for many individuals and small businesses.
Wealthy taxpayers and some estates: a new recurring tax liability will raise tax bills and reduce after-tax wealth for those subject to the levy.
Taxpayers with hard-to-value assets: steep accuracy-related penalties (e.g., 50%/30%) plus loss of the §275 deduction increase the risk of heavy fines and raise net tax costs for businesses and individuals who use aggressive or uncertain valuations.
Many taxpayers and tax advisors: expanded compliance, valuation, and reporting requirements will increase tax-preparation, appraisal, and administrative costs.
