We need to resist. All IRS employees need to be persona en grata. Make them outcasts from society. Exclude them from everything possible and make their lives miserable. They are the enemy to a free America. They have been and will continue to be weaponized.

There was a meme with Trump in it that said, “They aren’t after me, they are after you. I’m just in the way.”

It’s more true now than ever.

It’s more true now than ever.

Truer every day. My congressman, Scott Perry, had his cell phone seized by the FBI today. He said it included correspondence with constituents. I email him last night about the FBI raid on Trump. I called for the shuttering of the FBI in that email. I assume Perry agrees fully with me after today. But it does make me think twice about exercising my 1A rights. That hits home. But I refused to be silenced. They will have to kill me to shut me up.

They’re going to have to pay through the nose to get agents. I’ve never met one or anybody who wanted to be one.

I wonder how many of that 87,000 will be AA hires who can’t even add thanks to our wonderful education system. How will they get any minority hires since math is now considered racist?

Don’t cooperate with them.

If you serve on a jury where some poor innocent citizen is on trial for tax evasion, give them the benefit of the doubt and engage in jury nullification.

I saw a photo of a stadium that held 88,000.
The meme said to think about how many new IRS agents this is.
There will not be any audit of any democrat politician or supporter.

How many think the 87,000 new IRS agents are for auditing Trump supporters? Remember the Tea Party and True the Vote dealing with the IRS? Just asking for a friend......

This is a GDP killer.

Many are finally returning to work only to be harassed for minor BS.

This breaks my heart.

I know it what it means to dance with the IRS. And it’s not the end of the world. But it’s important to realize there’s a knife against your back making sure you keep time.

Do not ignore the notices. And the notices will arrive via US mail.

If you’re not in the habit of hiding incoming, no worries.

The average 1040 employee has nothing to worry about. The employer ensures your taxes are paid regularly. In terms of scrutiny, the employer’s payroll gets the greatest amount of attention from both the fed and state on a weekly/monthly basis. You’re golden. Breathe freely.

I’m guessing the focus will likely be on Sched-Cs & pass-throughs — DBAs, S-Corps, and the LLs — Small Business. Each of these cases are likely complex requiring a fair amount of time to analyze.

A Small Business owner knows the years it takes to get a basic understanding to the tax codes. New IRS agents will need guidance regarding one’s P&L and Balance statements. Cooperate and help/mentor — you may be inspiring a future business owner. And that reminds me... I dealt with an IRS agent that once had a business — all things considered, it was a positive experience.

Final word regarding the process... the agents are generally polite and empathetic. And they have a fair amount of latitude to help fix the oversights via reasonable payment plans. And remember, the agent is likely an individual hoping to pay the bills just like the rest of us. No need to be confrontational.

Bingo you “win the internet”. As The Z-man would say, it turns out qualified IRS agents aren’t exactly crossing the Rio Grande these days.

Now is the time to advocate for abolishing the income tax. Flat or NRST would reduce the IRS to a skeleton crew.

Just about every return is initially checked by computers.

Really, you don't need to do math. It's like bookkeepers and accounting now, it's all software related. They just plug whatever numbers the computer tells them to. Most returns are done electronically now, and the rest are scanned and uploaded.The software then does its thing, and if there are “flags” the IRS agent will be notified to look closer. Letters are generated and sent, then the audits are done. Even letters and audits are automatically generated in most cases. If a taxpayer “owes” money or if the IRS needs clarification on entries, letters are sent. The letters contain threats and I don't know if you have ever gotten a letter from the IRS, it's deeply unsettling and most cases are handled through the mail without ever seeing an agent, even for an audit. But most of what they plan on hiring now, is a function any basic high school millennial who owns a computer can do. True, it will take awhile to fill these positions and perhaps train, but they aren't looking for math geniuses here.

The smart people are saved for the forensic accounting.
