Thousands of millionaires haven’t filed tax returns for years, IRS says
Thousands of millionaires haven’t filed tax returns for years, IRS says
The IRS said it stopped sending letters to people who didn’t file their tax returns, when the agency was strapped for funds. Now it’s going after the money.
About 125,000 notices will be sent to high-income earners, including 25,000 people with income more than $1 million, the tax agency said
This is who the Republican party's complaints about the IRS are intended to protect.
You're viewing a single thread.
The IRS came after me over the taxes for a couple of grand on a repossessed car that I never got the paperwork on. Apparently I should have just made a few million and not filed at all rather than losing everything I had.
The issue is these people can afford accountants and other people to draw out and hinder the process. Poor people just have to pay or be held accountable. That's why low IRS funding hurts poor people and high funding hurts rich people. If they've got the money, they can go after the wealthy and, in turn, get even more money from them than they spent to get it.
So your argument here is they shouldn't go after those people now? No, I get you're annoyed that you got fucked in relation to these fucks, but this is a step in the right direction right?
Your reading comprehension is shit. No wonder they say 21% of the USA is illiterate.
Did we read the same comment?
No, that's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that I was so broke that my car was repossessed and the IRS sees that as me making money. So they billed someone who had literally nothing to their name at the time. Yet due to shit funding they can't go after millionaires who don't even fucking file who should be their highest priority because that would bring in both more money for public good and more money for the IRS to go after the bigger fish rather than penny ante bullshit.
I agree. They need to be properly funded to go after the rich assholes hiding behind lawyers. The recent funding is a good thing IMHO. Because otherwise the norm is to continue targeting folks like you.
