Washington, D.C. – Congressman Darin LaHood, a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee, voted in favor of the Family and Small Business Taxpayer Protection Act. The legislation would protect low- and middle-income families and small businesses from costly and burdensome audits by an unchecked and supercharged IRS authorized by Democrats' so-called "Inflation Reduction Act."

"Illinois families and small businesses in central and northwestern Illinois need their tax returns processed and phone calls answered, not more IRS agents knocking on their doors with costly and burdensome audits," said Rep. LaHood. "While the IRS continues to beef up its audit division, the agency still has 3.7 million unprocessed tax returns and a total of 11.1 million returns awaiting action. The IRS should be focused on processing those returns and improving customer service, not unfairly targeting law-abiding taxpayers."
