Big Data meets Big Gov't: New IRS spy software

One of the reasons identify theft is considered by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to be the crime of the century is because of the IRS. The Internal Revenue Service makes growing demands for information about people’s businesses and private lives every day. There is no such thing as personal privacy these days. That the IRS sends citizens a so-called “Privacy Act Notice” in all its mailings is a farce. The IRS lays claim to your data without court authority more so than any other government agency. And to make matters worse, they share the data with any other federal, state or local government agency claiming an interest, including foreign governments.

A river of data

In 2019, there will be about 152 million individual tax returns filed with the IRS. There will be roughly another 100 million business tax returns filed. There will be millions more miscellaneous tax returns, including trust, estate and gift tax returns. On top of that, over 3.6 BILLION information returns (Forms W-2, 1099, etc.) will be filed. There is quite literally a river of data flowing into the agency. The flow cannot be stopped, and as far as the IRS is concerned, they need even more.

For example, one of the six “Strategic Goals” presented in the IRS’ 2018-2022 Strategic Plan is to increase its access to data, and use that data more effectively to drive its agency-wide decision making, as well as case evaluations and selections for enforcement purposes. See: IRS Publication 3744 (4-2018). This is consistent with the IRS goal of becoming a “data driven agency.”

From what I’ve read, the California Revenue Service is the American Gestapo. The US Revenue Service is a pussycat by comparison.

I decided about a year ago to check my Social Security account status as I am 63, but not collecting yet.

So I went to the .gov site and for the first time entered personal info and SSN so I could see my status info.

One week later I get a notice in the US mail. That notice is the first time I was told that the SS people was going to, and at this time, already had, contracted the credit reporting agency(s) to verify my identity. No notice giving me the option to not proceed the week earlier.

I despise credit agencies and havent in 20 years had any contact with them, at all.

Don’t worry they are only after us, not Hillary Obama and their gang of rat criminals, not the illegals who are claiming 40 children while living alone in a trailer and getting a refund check from the IRS in the thousands to send home to mehico. All total a few million of our tax dollars each year.

Also remember that the IRS is aiding and abetting illegal aliens by providing them with ITINs and not reporting the fraudulent use of SS#s.

It’s more like a few billion that they send to illegal aliens.

They do the same for signing up for Obamacare. In the case of SS, you can't create an online account if you have a credit freeze in place.

And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.
