Bill > HR4974

This bill, known as the DETECT Act of 2025 (Digital Evaluation for Tax Enforcement and Compliance Tracking Act), requires the Comptroller General (the head of the Government Accountability Office) to prepare and submit a comprehensive report to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee within 180 days of the bill's enactment. The report will specifically focus on exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies could potentially help the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) improve its capabilities in detecting tax fraud. By mandating this report, the legislation aims to provide Congress with insights into the emerging technological opportunities for enhancing tax compliance and reducing fraudulent activities through advanced AI-driven analysis and detection methods. The bill does not implement any direct changes to IRS operations but instead seeks to gather strategic information about AI's potential role in tax enforcement.
