Book sessionThe IRS Gets an Upgrade: What the New 10-Year Plan Means for You
By: Ernie Neve
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act isn’t just about tax breaks and deductions—it’s also funneling serious money into the IRS itself. Over the next ten years, the IRS is set to receive over $100 billion to modernize its systems, improve service, and ramp up enforcement.
So what does that mean for you or your business?
1. Faster, Better Service
Long gone (hopefully) are the days of endless hold times and confusing letters. A big portion of this funding is aimed at upgrading the IRS's technology and customer service systems. That means easier online access, faster response times, and potentially fewer errors in communication.
2. More Audit Activity for High-Income Earners
Let’s be clear—this funding isn’t just for better software. A major goal is to crack down on tax evasion, especially among higher-income individuals and large businesses. If you earn over $400,000, expect more scrutiny on your filings. Now’s a good time to make sure everything’s squeaky clean.
3. Smarter, More Automated Systems
Expect the IRS to lean into AI and automation. That may sound intimidating, but it also means simpler filing for many taxpayers. Think fewer paper forms, more real-time updates, and faster refunds—especially if you're filing electronically.
4. What You Can Do Now
This shift won’t happen overnight, but it's already in motion. Stay ahead by keeping your books organized, documenting deductions properly, and filing on time. If you’re a business owner, this is the time to tighten up your records and review your tax strategies before scrutiny increases.
Bottom line: a stronger IRS means smoother processes for honest taxpayers—and more headaches for those who aren’t prepared. If you’re unsure where you stand, now’s the time to talk it through.
Let’s get ahead of this together.
