Restoring IRS Accountability.
Ensuring fair treatment of all taxpayers.
OUr Mission
The Alliance for IRS Accountability (AIA) is dedicated to protecting taxpayers and small businesses. The IRS is broken and operates with unchecked power. This has led to abusive enforcement practices and regulatory overreach that has unfairly targeted hard-working American taxpayers and business owners. AIA is building a broad alliance that will create a fair, transparent, and law-abiding agency that is accountable to individual Americans and businesses.

Problems
IRS’ continued harassment of taxpayers with overly aggressive enforcement practices

IRS’ rogue activities and circumventing of Congress is creating uncertainty and hurting small businesses.
Direct File: A Costly, Taxpayer-Funded IRS Tax Preparation Power Grab Created Without Congressional Authorization.
What We’re Fighting For
Bringing Certainty to 1099-K Reporting
The IRS’s handling of the 1099-K reporting threshold is creating uncertainty that is leaving small businesses struggling to navigate tax compliance. This is a blatant example of bureaucratic overreach and political maneuvering at the expense of small businesses and gig workers. The Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan Act slashed the 1099-K reporting threshold for small businesses from $20,000 and 200 transactions to just $600, creating a massive tax and paperwork burden on entrepreneurs and gig workers who use digital wallets. Recognizing the political backlash, the IRS has repeatedly delayed enforcement allowing the Biden administration to dodge responsibility for its own law. We call on Congress to restore certainty and reform this flawed law.
Eliminating Direct File
Direct File is another power grab by an overreaching IRS. Congress empowered the IRS to study direct file options, nothing more. The IRS created a pilot program without congressional authorization and has now made Direct File permanent, thereby acting as both tax preparer and auditor. Further, the “free” filing program is not actually free. It comes at a large expense to the American taxpayer. It will be a costly program. GAO says it's $42M for this season - not including customer support and general operations costs.
The IRS and its unelected bureaucrats have operated with unchecked power for years. This is more of the same that will result in the elderly and less fortunate being harassed by IRS agents. Attempts at accountability and transparency have failed through the years due to IRS stonewalling and a lack of political willpower. We call on Congress to prohibit any taxpayer funds from being used to implement Direct File.
DISBANDING IRS PASS-THROUGH AUDIT TEAM
The new IRS pass-through audit team is a prime example of government weaponization and bureaucratic inefficiency. Created under the Biden Administration, this unit operates outside traditional IRS structures, creating confusion for taxpayers and enforcing arbitrary tax rulings that contradict established law. It unfairly targets law-abiding Americans—especially those investing in business partnerships following the long-established clear rules of the Code. With excessive resources and unclear oversight, this unit undermines due process and burdens taxpayers with unnecessary audits. We call on the Administration and Congress to prevent the IRS from overstepping its authority by eliminating the new pass-through audit team that has allowed the IRS to target political opponents.
