Lexington Tax Group: No, the IRS Isn’t Shutting Down — But Now’s the Smartest Time to Resolve Your Tax Debt

Rumors are flying online that the IRS may be shutting down, but Lexington Tax Group is stepping forward to clarify: the IRS is not closing — and in fact, it’s more active than ever.

“The idea that the IRS is shutting down is misinformation,” said a spokesperson for Lexington Tax Group. “The IRS has received billions in funding, is hiring thousands of enforcement agents, and is actively upgrading its digital systems. This is the time to act, not wait.”

Here’s What’s Really Happening:

• The IRS is here to stay. Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is receiving $80 billion in long-term funding, with a large portion dedicated to enforcement and modernization.

• Enforcement is increasing. The IRS has publicly confirmed that it is hiring over 7,000 new enforcement staff by 2025, aiming to increase audits on high earners and collect unpaid taxes.

• AI is changing IRS enforcement. The IRS is now using artificial intelligence to detect tax fraud, identify audit triggers, and find patterns of noncompliance — making it harder to stay off their radar.

Lexington Tax Group Is Ready — with Human Expertise and Smart AI Tools

Lexington Tax Group is responding to these changes by implementing its own AI systems — not to replace expert judgment, but to assist in qualifying taxpayers for IRS hardship programs when standard methods fall short.

“Our team uses AI as a secondary review tool,” the company explains. “If someone doesn’t qualify using traditional financial formulas, our system helps uncover overlooked factors that might still justify hardship — things that IRS algorithms may not catch on their own.”

This innovation helps clients gain a clearer picture of what’s possible, even when the IRS seems like it’s tightening the rules.

Why Now Is the Moment to Act:

• IRS hardship and settlement programs are still active

• Administrative slowdowns can temporarily make resolutions easier

• AI-enhanced review helps catch eligibility details that may be missed

• Enforcement activity is rising — and waiting can cost more in penalties
