The IRS has leaned more towards targeting smaller businesses in recent years *because* they're underfunded and understaffed, and can't mount effective investigations/prosecutions of large corporations, which are lengthy and complex and demand a lot of resources. The new hires at the IRS are not to create some new army of auditors who will persecute the middle class, it's to replace the large percentage of near-retirees who currently make up the IRS's workforce. Funding the IRS will shift their attention away from the average American and towards the ultra-wealthy, not the other way round.
