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.
HB9501, also known as the AI Tax Integrity Act of 2026, proposes to have the Comptroller General create a report on how artificial intelligence could help the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) find and stop tax fraud. This bill was introduced on June 29, 2026, and has since been referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. On July 1, 2026, the committee reviewed the bill and ordered it to be reported in a substitute form. The bill was then reported (amended) on September 8, 2026, and placed on the Union Calendar for further action.
The bill would mainly affect the IRS and taxpayers, as it aims to improve the IRS's ability to detect tax fraud using AI tools. If passed, it could lead to more efficient tax audits and potentially reduce tax fraud, benefiting both the government and honest taxpayers. Currently, the bill has been reported by the committee with amendments and awaits further action in the House.
Recent key actions include committee consideration, a mark-up session, and a report being issued on September 8, 2026. The bill is now on the Union Calendar, ready for the next steps in the legislative process.
