The U.S. Department of the Treasury and IRS announced a "major milestone" of collecting more than $1 billion in past-due taxes from millionaires.
  • The Treasury Department and the IRS announced the collection of more than $1 billion in tax debt from high-income individuals over the past year.
  • In September, the IRS announced plans to expand its scrutiny of those making more than $1 million annually with more than $250,000 in recognized tax debt.
  • However, the funding enacted in 2022 that is allowing the IRS to pursue its plans still has its critics, particularly among congressional Republicans.

      This headline uses “millionaires” to mean “people with over a million dollars in annual income” rather than “people with over a million dollars in net worth”

      That’s not your run of the mill “successful career with a healthy 401k” millionaire, that’s at least ten-millionaires, mostly hundred-millionaires, and possibly some billionaires by net worth.
