Free Republic is a for-profit corporation solely funded by taxable donations from its members. You may not deduct contributions to Free Republic, so the IRS would not be auditing you for that.
I have heard that people who have been audited are rich fodder for the feds to audit again. That could be the cause of your close scrutiny by them.
If they audit you and find you’re short on your taxes, you will get audited again until they owe you or you’re even.
This Highlander is with you!
Same here, sir!
With you all the way!
And 1000, 10,000 local groups are d@mned hard to stop ;)
BUMP!
BUMP!
At a minimum. If the Republican house leadership doesn’t make this happen, then what are they there for? Sitting around in committee meetings bemoaning these type of activities with only real purpose of gaining future campaign donor contributions is also failure in of itself. The real goal should be is to determine if there was systematic, choreographed Hydra-headed operation focused on a sector of Americans.
I find it hard to believe that this is the actions of one isolated bureaucrat. These actions should have criminal consequences otherwise long-term federal bureaucrats may continue to feel a sense of empowerment and their misplaced duty to operationalize their position of unique standing in accordance with the views of the president they admire at the time.
People who think that bureaucrats are passionless, impartial implementers are utterly mistaken. The full extent of criminal law must be demanded to send the signal.
It's clear that the purpose for delaying the approval of the tax status for conservative groups was to prevent them from effectively participating for Romney.
Second to that was the desire to cause these groups to expend extra funds fighting the delays, as well as diverting their focus from supporting Romney to fighting the IRS.

Not just fired, criminally prosecuted for violation of constitutional rights, freedom from coercion and to assemble.
If in fact IRS staff was told to do this in a subterfuge manner by this Adminisration, then we are well on our way back to King George.
This revelation could be more explosive than Benghazi. Benghazi is more about incompetence resulting in death and no attempt to order military into action because of concern on electoral politics.
Using the IRS to destroy or thwart the political efforts of Americans desiring to be active in how our government is run is basically ripping the Declaration of Independence and Constitution in half and using them for toilet paper.
The IRS staff should not have the authority or the ability to be able to do this. These auditing actions should be similar to a police officer getting a warrant from a judge. Where is the oversight to prevent this type of arbitrary behavior?
Who told this staff to use Tea Party labeling as a search mechanism? Was it verbalized at a cocktail party in DC to make this happen because of the fear of the in roads the Tea Party was having throughout the US?
The jokes on us, conservatives are the only ones who follow the laws.
laws for libs are just a tool of entertainment for them to watch us run around chasing our tail.
Go figure the IRS is auditing me from 2008. They are desperate!
Without repealing Obamacare too the IRS is around to stay.
Congress needs to get their act together and their priorities straight!
“The IRS apology has seemingly validated conservatives’ fears of politically motivated regulation.”
Translation: We’ll spin this so that conservatives look like paranoid kooks.
Ah....crossing the Rubicon.
I anticipate it.
I agree that Obamacare must be repealed.
