Republicans escalate IRS rhetoric as senator warns Americans not to apply for new jobs
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen emphasized in an internal memo that new resources for the IRS will be aimed at wealthy tax avoiders, as GOP rhetoric reaches new extremes.

GOP continues to spew lies about the IRS

enforce the tax laws against high net-worth individuals, large corporations, and complex partnerships who today pay far less than they owe."

"As I wrote last week, these investments will not result in households earning $400,000 per year or less or small businesses seeing an increase in the chances that they are audited relative to historical levels," Yellen wrote, emphasizing that the funds would help "improve taxpayer service, modernize technology, and increase equity in our system of tax administration by pursuing tax evasion by those at the top who today do not pay their tax bill."


Quote:
much of the new staffing would go toward returning phone calls and processing tax refunds, with additional funds designed to modernize outdated technology so the agency can “target more sophisticated tax evaders” as opposed to lower-income taxpayers.


"The story for ordinary Americans who are compliant with their taxes is that this is great for them. They’re more likely to have their returns processed quickly, they’re more likely to have their phone calls returned," Clausing said. "It’s less likely they’ll be audited because the IRS will have the skill and technology to target the audits to those who really should be targeted."


Quote:
Scott's allusions to agents' alleged license to kill, meanwhile, can be traced back to a job posting for a special agent at the IRS's Criminal Investigation division, which has been falsely depicted as a listing for other positions in the agency. The distortions have proliferated among conservatives on social media and have been incorporated into Republican campaign messages ahead of the Nov. 8 midterm election.

In his speech last night Kevin said

"when we come back, our very first bill will repeal the funding for 87,000 new IRS agents."

Of course the "87,000 agents" lie has been debunked repeatedly, but Kevin still pushes it because he knows it is what the simpletons in the right-wing echo chamber want to hear.

Republicans really care about the deficit and tax cheats. Unlike Trump's tax cuts, funding the IRS actually does pay for itself.

Poor IRS is going to be getting it from both sides - from the Dems for the circumstantial evidence of being influenced in political ways by the Trump White House, and by the Republicans....because who likes the IRS??

I imagine not a fun place to work for the rank-and-file.

Indeed.

If the Republicans really cared about this issue they would use their control of the House to reform the tax code.....instead they feed their base lies about "IRS Stormtroopers". As we can see by this thread the base eagerly buys the lie.

Of course they don't care.

And few tax cheats are as prolific as the GQP poster boy, trumpski.

I foresee this going remarkably like repealing the ACA.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Heard about this study/article on the radio today. Kind of interesting when the talk is about making the rich pay their fair share, the IRS is focused on those who make the least and probably have the most questions for the IRS but can't get any help...

Yes, I have heard of this data but had not seen it presented in such a manner, thanks for posting.

Your link confirms that the IRS needs more funding so they can provide a better level of service to the average taxpayer and finally have the resources needed to for better collection from high income taxpayers.

From your link.

The Crisis Caused by Inadequate Staffing at the IRS

Quote:
The source of the problem: years of starving the IRS for resources so that there were simply too few people to adequately staff the agency. This was compounded because during the pandemic, Congress had assigned the IRS more and more vital responsibilities.


High-Income Returns Escape Audit Because IRS Not Hiring Enough Revenue Agents
Quote:
A critical limitation in the IRS’s ability to audit millionaires is the availability of IRS revenue agents. Only this class of auditors, given sufficient training and experience, are qualified to examine complex tax returns – the types of returns typically filed by high-income individuals and large-scale businesses.

Your link goes into detail about how the average taxpayer is screwed because they do not get the service level needed to file their return. Contrary to the claims of the right wing echo chamber all the additional funding is not going to "IRS Stormtroopers" but also to providing services to the average taxpayer.

The first CBO score of the new Congress is out. The GOP IRS funding bill would reduce spending by $71.5B and reduce revenue by $185.8B.

Net deficit increase of $114B.

I don’t really have anything to add I thought I’d just break up the pathetic pattern of Nutella continuing to talk to himself over the course of the last several months before he replies a few more times to somebody.


There are clearly not enough other threads in the forum for him to patrol, dredge up and reply to with these hard hitting posts which provide evidence of….something to support his position of…..something.

More importantly there must not be enough transgender threads being developed lately. It’s clearly the end of the business week at the bot farm and Nutella hasn’t generated his qouta of inane posts in this room for the week. He might get called into the sups office if he doesn’t step up his total posts.

I don’t really know what to say.

There are clearly signs that you have a hard on for Nutella to write three whole paragraphs specifically about him.

More importantly there must not be enough happiness in your life but you keep doing you.
