IRS Hiring 5,582 Tax Enforcers in 2024 but Says Only Some Will Carry Guns

The IRS is hiring 5, 582 taxes enforcers this year, according to a guardian overseeing the IRS, despite false claims made in media reports that the company is hiring “87, 000- military enforcement agents” because just a small percentage of the new hires may carry weapons.
In an April 3 report on how the IRS is spending its$ 78 billion funding boost, the watchdog overseeing the IRS, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration ( TIGTA ), disclosed the agency’s hiring plans for 2024.
When President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 into law, the IRS received around$ 79.4 billion in additional revenue, but Congress later recovered about$ 1.4 billion.
