IRS Needs Added Resources: Congress, Listen to National Taxpayer Advocate
Harry, really! The Congress and the President are being absolutely irresponsible and throwing away money when we have a deficit that is nearly $700 billion. They should be fired! Taxpayers, especially the more well to do, are not paying what they rightfully owe. The results of IRS audits and collections show that. We only audit 12% of the over $1,000,000 income returns and generate over $4 billion. We only audit 3% of the $200,000 to $1,000,000 returns and generate nearly $3 billion. Each dollar spent on these paper and field audits generates many more additional dollars for the US Treasury. The gangsters and other thieves are costing the Treasury between $7 billion and $21 billion a year in tax refund fraud. Stop this madness and add the $5 billion of added funding to the IRS. The Congress and the President must act. If the Congress and the President won’t act, we can solve the problem with the November 2014 elections or sooner if we follow the impeachment route.
