After President Biden signed a law expanding the agency, two pieces of legislation were introduced by Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan.
The bills, which were exclusively obtained by Fox Business, were introduced in response to the Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act.
The Preventing Frivolous Actions by IRS Agents Act would compensate eligible U.S. taxpayers who were wrongly hit with a failed IRS audit. After the case is settled, taxpayers would be paid, which includes the completion of judicial proceedings.
The legislation states that for any civil or criminal proceedings in which a taxpayer wins in court, they would be compensated for attorney's fees, court costs and other expenses related to the taxpayer's defense.
Marshall said that Joe Biden and the Democrats stuck working and middle-class Kansans with a massive spending scam that gives the IRS the green light to aggressively snoop around their personal finances. The IRS should pay the bill and Defendants should not be innocent Americans who were wrongly targeted by an overzealous federal accountant. Marshall's other bill would require the IRS to sell its stock of firearms ammunition, worth an estimated $700,000.
MAJOR WIN The measure would require the General Services Administration to sell ammunition purchased or stockpiled by the IRS or for the agency's use within 90 days of the bill's enactment.
The proceeds of the ammunition sales must be deposited in the general fund of the Treasury, less any reasonable costs incurred by the General Services Administration in selling the ammunition, according to the legislation.
The IRS has a huge ammunition stockpile. Joe Biden wants the IRS to squeeze every cent it can out of law-abiding American taxpayers, and this ammo must be sold before federal law enforcement can threaten and oppress citizens, Marshall said.
In August, Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act. The bill passed both chambers of Congress along party lines, with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote in the Senate.
The Inflation Reduction Act, hailed as a climate, health and tax bill, includes an $80 billion boost to the IRS over a 10 year period, with more than half intended to help the agency crack down on tax evasion.
The agency could afford more than double its current size with that amount, the Biden administration projected last year.
The IRS received backlash from Republicans in August after it posted an online job posting for Criminal Investigation Special Agents. The job, which was briefly deleted and re-added at the time, stated that its main duties include carrying a firearm and being willing to use deadly force and being willing to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants, and other dangerous assignments.
