According to Eric Yoder, legislation from the financial services and general government subcommittee would give the IRS $12.5 billion for fiscal 2013.
The White House’s request was two percent higher than what the lawmakers proposed, Yoder reports.
Lawmakers recommend the IRS should use the funds for automated self-service applications, addressing offshore tax evasion cases and other tax collection issues.
Under the House’s proposed funding bill, the agency would receive $11.8 billion for fiscal 2013.
The full Senate Appropriations Committee is scheduled to vote on the bill Thursday, according to Yoder.
