What We’re Figting For

Brought Increased Certainty to 1099-K Reporting

Passage of the Big Beautiful Bill into law included a provision that improved the 1099-K reporting threshold that helps small businesses and gig workers better navigate tax compliance. The Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan Act previously slashed the 1099-K reporting threshold for small businesses from $20,000 and 200 transactions to just $600. This created a massive tax and paperwork burden on entrepreneurs and gig workers who use digital wallets. Increasing the information-reporting threshold is welcome news to small businesses and entrepreneurs in our growing gig economy.

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.
