What this bill would do
This bill, known as the AI Tax Integrity Act of 2026, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to set up a pilot program using artificial intelligence. The goal of this program is to spot inaccurate tax returns caused by identity theft, fraudulent claims, or improperly prepared returns by third parties. This pilot program will run for at least 18 months and up to two years. After it ends, the Comptroller General must submit a report to specific congressional committees. This report will describe the amount of improper refunds found, the money recovered by the government, and how accurate the artificial intelligence tools were.
