AI Tax Integrity Act of 2026
To require the Comptroller General to submit a report to the appropriate committees of Congress on the potential of artificial intelligence to assist the Internal Revenue Service in detecting tax fraud.
The AI Tax Integrity Act of 2026 aims to have the Comptroller General evaluate how artificial intelligence (AI) can help the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in identifying tax fraud. This bill, sponsored by Vern Buchanan, David Schweikert, Steven Horsford, and Aaron Bean, was introduced on June 29, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. On July 1, 2026, the committee held a session to consider and mark up the bill, and it was ordered to be reported with no opposition.
The bill would impact the IRS and taxpayers by potentially improving the accuracy and efficiency of detecting tax fraud through the use of AI. This could lead to better compliance and potentially reduce the burden on taxpayers who are already compliant.
As of July 1, 2026, the bill has been reported out of the House Committee on Ways and Means and is now ready for further consideration by the full House.
