**Concerns Grow Over Biden-Era IRS Unit Targeting Small Businesses**
In a troubling revelation, four Republican senators are demanding accountability from the Biden administration regarding a controversial IRS compliance unit that may have skewed its efforts with ideological bias against small businesses.
Senators Marsha Blackburn, Steve Daines, James Lankford, and John Barrasso have expressed concerns that the newly created pass-through compliance unit is not merely aimed at enhancing tax compliance but appears to disproportionately burden small businesses, which are the backbone of our economy.
The senators voiced their apprehension in a letter addressed to Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender, highlighting that the enforcement unit—the brainchild of the previous administration—risks targeting specific business structures based on bias rather than genuine compliance.
This special IRS unit was established during the waning months of President Joe Biden's administration and has raised alarms among Republican lawmakers who worry that it could stifle entrepreneurship and innovation by subjecting smaller enterprises to increased audit rates.
IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel defended the initiative, stating it is intended to hold the wealthiest taxpayers accountable. However, Republicans argue that small businesses, often lacking the resources to effectively deal with such scrutiny, would be most negatively impacted by these measures.
As President Donald Trump continues to advocate for significant cuts to the IRS budget, including a proposed $2.5 billion decrease, it is clear that Republicans are taking a vigorous stand against the perceived overreach of the federal agency. This includes a draft tax bill aimed at dismantling the Biden-era direct file program, which would further protect taxpayers from unnecessary federal intrusion.
With continued scrutiny on the Biden administration’s handling of businesses, the GOP remains vigilant in its efforts to promote policies that support American entrepreneurs and ensure their voices are heard. As these discussions unfold, it becomes increasingly evident that a significant battle is brewing over the future of small business taxation in America.
