On May 31, 2023, President Biden signed into law the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA). The passage of this bill averted a U.S. government debt default, which would likely have caused great damage to the world economy. While the FRA is a fairly vanilla bill, it does contain important provisions effecting taxpayers, and the IRS in particular, as it reduces the $80 billion allocated to IRS modernization to $60 billion (over 10 years). Further, the FRA expresses certain policy preferences, such as clawing back unspent COVID relief funds. This program will discuss what the FRA contains, and how it will affect tax professionals and their clients.
