The Inflation Reduction Act called for an increase in the staffing of the IRS over a series of years until 2031.  The 87,000 included clerks, processors, IT folks, as well as replacement and new auditors.  It never was just auditors despite the talking points from Trump and Fox

Does it really matter?  Seems like targeting the middle class is targeting the middle class, weather they're going after the $150K earner or the $200K earner.
