Sen. Warren wants to expand IRS powers beyond the Inflation Reduction Act to prepare tax returns
Fox business ^ | 08/13/2022 | Fred Lucas

Tucked into the tax and spending bill that passed the Senate this weekend was a $15 million provision to study allowing the IRS to prepare taxes.

The provision comes after Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and other Democrats have pushed legislation for adding tax filing to the agency's purview.

The Inflation Reduction Act, which passed the House Friday after clearing the Senate — the vote was 50-50 with Vice President Kamala Harris breaking the tie — appropriates almost $80 billion to the tax agency. That would enable the IRS to hire its desired 87,000 agents over the next decade to increase tax enforcement.

Warren gets so angry she is visibly shaking....as she was because states can now choose not to allow the murder of babies.

They already have all the information for the average taxpayer. Several years ago I was doing my taxes on Turbotax. There was a one time credit being offered. I went through all the questions and, according to Turbotax, I was not eligible for the credit. A couple of weeks after submitting my return I got a letter from the IRS telling me I was eligible for this credit and gave me an exact refund amount. If they know this much, why do we even have to do a return?

From the article:

“The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, the internal watchdog of the IRS, reported in 2016 that IRS staff lost 1,000 laptops with sensitive taxpayer information. In 2015, hackers gained access to the data of about 330,000 taxpayers.”

If the govt ever starts taxing interest, dividends, mineral royalties, capital gains and Treasury Bonds as “earned income” most retirees will be in mucho trouble. Even worse if they can get the "unrealized capital gains tax" you have to figure up every year on your investments that they have talked about.

I suppose the Dems have exempted themselves from any IRS audits. Isn’t AOC behind on her taxes?

Just make it a straight, flat tax. 15% for everyone and every company.

That’s it.

No way to cheat except not filing or false reporting income.

Easily tracked by only a few agents without sidearms.

Taxpayer to IRS: I think you made a mistake on my return.

IRS to taxpayer: We have 87,000 armed agents who say its right.

I wonder where this surging army of armed IRS thugs is going to housed and working? Is there room in existing office buildings? Can’t work at home because victims have to be threatened on the IRS’s turf.

How about evicting widows and orphaned children to provide office space? No ethics problems for the IRS——they have none.

Really, really stupid Injun. How about trashing the entire tax code? Then adjust tariffs appropriately so we have fair trade, not free trade. Look at the remaining amount required to equal 10% of GDP. The government is not higher than God after all. Then impose a consumption tax on all new goods and services. Have the states collect the tax. Plus immediately balance the budget by cutting what government we can’t afford, beginning with the FBI, IRS, Ed, DOE, ATF … I better stop there or I will be writing for the next week.

I wonder if anybody at the IRS is supposed to open the mail or answer the phone? If Liz wants the IRS to prepare her return, I’m sure they could find a way to make that happen.

$15 **million** to **study** whether the IRS can/should prepare tax returns?

Yet another scam...
