Restoring
Accountability
Stay in-the-know on AIA’s latest activity to see how we are protecting taxpayers and reforming the IRS.
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.

EXCLUSIVE: How the Alliance for IRS Accountability became one of the most influential conservative groups in Washington in just one year
Exclusive to the Washington Reporter, the piece notes that since launching in January 2025, the Alliance for IRS Accountability has become a leading voice for taxpayers. AIA has driven wins like the wind-down of the IRS's Direct File program and passage of the IRS Math and Taxpayer Help Act, while using data — including a national survey showing broad, bipartisan support for taxpayer protections — to shape Capitol Hill debate. Led by CEO Chuck Flint, AIA is now pushing its Presumption of Rights agenda and preparing to defend recent reforms and fight new IRS authority proposals, including taxes on unrealized gains, as the 2026 midterms approach.
