IRS says it ‘absolutely’ will not increase audit scrutiny

[tn1911]

Is that a normal stated requirement for a law enforcement job? I mean I know it's a possibility that will be addressed during training but seems strange to me to put it in the job posting.

It’s always been to carry, qualify and use firearms in the course of your official duties…

Never are you ready to kill somebody….

Just doing some quick math here.

The US Census Bureau estimates there are over 264,000,000 people in the US age 18 or older. If the IRS had 87,000 personnel who actually did auditing full time as their only duty, they would be over 3,000 tax returns each auditor would have to do every single year. About 8.3 audits per day. Which is theoretically doable if the returns are all dirt simple, and only individual returns are being audited.

Realistically not all of these clowns are going to be accountants doing audits, so the actual number per auditor is going to be way way way higher. Now add auditing non profits, businesses, etc on top of it.

Not saying this isn’t concerning, but the sky isn’t falling just yet.

There isn’t a more racist organization in the country than the IRS. They absolutely target and prey on the poor more than any other class of citizen. This is documented and proven. So WHY in the Kentucky Fried **** do the Democrats want to DOUBLE the size of the IRS? Because they can’t finish destroying this country without bankrupting us, that’s why!

LOL.

Your description of going after the poor is an accurate description of almost all law enforcement agencies, and the prosecutors they work with in the US. It’s no fun going after folks with enough money to hire competent lawyers, and actually fight back in court.

Thank you for admitting that the IRS is a law enforcement agency. They’re not going to be sending clerks and typists after political dissidents in the near future. Those bean counters freezing and seizing assets will be carrying guns and warrants.

Your math is all wrong, the audit pool will be the 74,000.000 Trump voters, everyone else gets a free pass.

You mean the IRS is just an enforcement agency, very little "law" about it. Brownshirts with green eyeshades.

CBO confirming IRS audits will take AT LEAST $20 billion from the middle class and that EVERY Democrat lied. Whatever - just wanted you to know I’m officially changing my job title to “transgender children’s stripper” so they don’t come after me.

CBO: New IRS Audits Will Grab at Least $20B from Lower- & Middle-Income Families

Explanation: Last weekend, all 50 Senate Democrats voted against an amendment offered by Senate Finance Republican Leader Mike Crapo (R-ID) that would have protected lower- and middle-income American taxpayers against new audits by the IRS.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that had this amendment passed and lower- and middle-income taxpayers been protected, revenue in Democrats’ bill would have been reduced by at least $20 billion – confirming that at least $20 billion of the $124 billion in new revenue expected by a supercharged IRS will be coming from higher audits on low- and middle-income Americans. This will be in addition to existing audits on these income levels.

2023 and 2024 are going to be really, really bad years, for many people.

Dark days these are …
