Essentially, the article is reporting that the US Congress has authorized the IRS to employ private businesses as "bounty hunters" - and paying them on a commission basis i.e. 25% of the amount of additional income taxes they can collect. I can envision some future horror stories such as "bounty hunters" staking out SCORES or PEC, then attempting to back bill every dancer for say $40,000 each in unpaid income tax (of which they would get to keep $10,000).
