Tax fraud costs the government billions of dollars each year, and this bill asks whether artificial intelligence could help catch more of it. It would require the Government Accountability Office to deliver a report to Congress within 180 days evaluating how AI could be used to help the IRS detect tax fraud. It's a study, not a new program — but it could shape future policy on how technology is used in tax enforcement.
