Congress rescinded an additional $20 billion from the Internal Revenue Service last week when lawmakers averted a government shutdown.

Biden administration officials said the additional cuts would add $140 billion to the national debt over the next decade by hamstringing the agency’s ability to audit wealthy individuals and large corporations.

More cuts would force the IRS to dramatically reduce customer service for taxpayers.
