All kidding aside, I always thought that only Congress, more specifically the House, makes all the decisions regarding taxes. Not the bureaucrats.
Both parties claim to be the party of the working man and woman. Kind of hard to believe that when they take away the ability for folks to deduct property taxes and mortgage interest on your 1040, if you’re taking the standard deduction.
So, I guess only those that have numerous deductions, for various things, and the rich get to use those deductions while the middle/working class folks get screwed…..as usual.
And it’s been reported that the IRS is going to increase audits on the middle class. Praying in those that can’t afford a $1000/hr tax attorney. What the hell do they think they’re going to get? I guess it’s easier to get an additional $500-1000 from someone that can’t defend themselves rather than the millionaire that shows up with a law firm.

And republicans in congress do nothing. But everyone will keep voting for them
When the SCOTUS reverses the Chevron deference this session, there will be a huge reduction in the powers of the administrative state.
After about 20 years, I’m still waiting for the IRS to identify the law that requires most people to file a return.
