The claim stems from a satirical account
A post shared on Facebook claims members of Congress voted to exempt themselves from any upcoming Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audits.
Verdict: False
There is no evidence to suggest that any legislation containing such language has been passed or enacted. The claim stems from a satirical Twitter account.
The Inflation Reduction Act which President Joe Biden signed into law last week provides $80 billion in funding for the IRS, according to The Wall Street Journal. The money will be used partly for tax enforcement, specifically for high-earning taxpayers, the outlet reports. Some members of Congress have suggested the money will be used to hire tens of thousands of new agents, according to ABC News.
