"These resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income Americans. As we've been planning, our investment of these enforcement resources is designed around the Department of the Treasury's directive that audit rates will not rise relative to recent years for households making under $400,000," wrote IRS commissioner Charles Rettig in an August 2022 letter to concerned senators.
Janet Yellen was even more adamant. "Contrary to the misinformation from opponents of this legislation, small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited," she wrote in a letter to Rettig.
STILL BELIEVE THEM? I DON'T.
bttt
Just never trust a Democrat, period.
“small business or households earning $400,000 per year or less will not see an increase in the chances that they are audited,“
Note :”increase in the chances” now they have the money they can follow through on the original plan
Bingo... they are going to destroy those who are being destroyed. Absolute psychopaths running the federal government right now...
Not to mention that most of the "super-rich" have broken no tax laws because a) the consequences are higher for them if they do and b) they have excellent tax attorneys and excellent accountants to make sure their returns are flawless.
The tenacity of our tyrannical communist rulers in imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those GOPers seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms & liberties...
They have always been auditing “the rich”. It never ends. 80,000 auditors would not be needed for a function that’s been ongoing since tax auditing started.
No! @I’m-flabergasted
The IRS was lying, surely you jest?
Well, putting aside the ubiquitous lying by Demorats, what do you think IRS would do first, spend a few weeks fighting with someones’s CPA over an $8000 743(b) partnership depreciation adjustment or spend 5 minutes with the person who claimed $8,000 of refundable tax credits for the children she claimed to have but weren’t hers?
Hence, the statistic.
We are not free.
This happened because congress let them.. Not a fight in them.
I never knowingly do business with a Democrat or befriend them. They are inherently untrustworthy. No morals at all.
It is my belief that the extra audit help was primarily for anyone donating to a Trump or Trump adjacent campaign.
I have no love for the IRS, or its expansion.
But, I suspect that $200,000 is net income on a return. So that number can be a little misleading.
When my wife’s brother in law passed 14 years ago, I got to unravel their web of finances. He was grossing $700k a year, and his net was less than $150k. He was cheating so blatantly, that my wife and I worried for 7 years that there would be an audit that would ruin her sister.
As a side note, the man was a rabid democrat that advocated loudly for higher taxes.
We know what cloth the Biden party is cut from.
To take on millionaires & billionaires (& their tax lawyers) is not only expensive, but takes hi-level accounting knowledge. How could they hire 80k people & have them able to take on such cases quickly? What I’m finding is they’re just passing paperwork around. My sweetie died in 2022. He passed in February, so there were 2 months of income to report in 2023. A VERY simple tax form (pension, social security & some interest on a bank account) & he was due a refund. I filed them with the Utah office (as required). I still haven’t received the refund to his estate, & I’ve received letters from the Atlanta IRS office, the Austin IRS office, the Pittsburgh IRS office & the Fresno IRS office - most of them saying they need more time to solve my “issue.” The last one said they couldn’t find the return & I had to resubmit. Ridiculous!
