Our guest this week is former IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. He’ll discuss how the IRS should spend the $80 billion in new funding it will receive through the Inflation Reduction Act, including challenges the IRS faces as it looks to increase staff and improve its technology.

This interview is part of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center series of online conversations on tax and fiscal policy in today’s economy. The discussions take place every other Thursday afternoon and feature varying perspectives on the historic economic challenges facing the United States and the world and the best ways to address them.
