I don't think you can donate to the IRS. You can do similar things, but none are quite the same as paying taxes.

Also, the problem is that the government now has to plan its budget based on the new tax plan. Even if I donate a few thousand extra, that won't stop a lot of important programs from getting cut, and it won't stop general inequality from increasing.

You're correct that you don't donate to the IRS, specifically. You can write a check to the "United States Treasury", however.

They will gladly cash your check.
