Yellen emphasized that to fix the problem, the Treasury had redirected IRS funding to combat tax evasion among the wealthy.
The initiative focuses on taxpayers with over $1 million in income and more than $250,000 in recognized tax debt.
A separate initiative targeting wealthy non-filers collected an additional $172 million from 21,000 high-income taxpayers who had not filed returns since 2017.
As the presidential election approaches, tax policy has emerged as a contentious issue.
Donald Trump’s campaign promises to drastically reduce federal agency spending if elected, specifically targeting IRS resources, while Kamala Harris has said she supports increasing IRS staffing.
