Inflation Reduction Act Oversight
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) authorized supplemental funding for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) through September 30, 2031. The IRS will use the money to improve taxpayer services, update antiquated computer systems, and increase compliance and enforcement actions.
Every 3 months we’re showing how much of that money the IRS has spent. As of December 31, 2023, the IRS has spent $4.4 billion of IRA funds. Use the dashboard or read our report for more details.
