                                H.R. 4885
     IRS Oversight While Eliminating Spending (OWES) Act of 2016

  As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways andMeans on April 13, 2016


SUMMARY

Under current law, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is authorized to establish or increase
fees for some of its services and to spend those fees without further appropriation.
H.R. 4885 would amend current law to require that the spending of those user fees would
be subject to annual appropriation.

CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4885 would reduce direct spending by $3.4 billion over
the 2017-2026 period; therefore pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would
not affect revenues. CBO also estimates that implementing the bill would increase the need
for appropriations for the IRS by $3.4 billion over the 2017-2026 period.

CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would not increase net direct spending or
on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) has determined that H.R. 4885
contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
