IRS Will Target High-Income Tax Evaders with New Funding, Contrary to Social Media Posts. ... Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen directed IRS Commissioner Charles P. Rettig not to use the new funding to increase enforcement of taxpayers earning less than $400,000. [Factcheck.org, 8/18/2022].

That link was the promise Democrats made. How come it doesn't match with today's reality Dervy? Why the move to crack down on service industry worker tips NOW?

Acta non Verba. For a "different" view of "truth".

Joe Conservative said...

A truth that doesn't only come in through your ears.

Dervish Sanders said...

Tips are supposed to be untaxed?

Joe Conservative said...

People making over $400k don't make tips.

Joe Conservative said...

It's an unscrupulous "marketing" technique well recognized as a "bait & switch".

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

So the IRS is looking into a change in the system for reporting tips. Does not mean audits of people who make tips will be increasing or that this is any kind of "crackdown". Don't have the MB to look at the video right now, so I don't know what Tarl Warwick says. Does he cite any facts that validate this claim? Maybe something from the IRS where they say this is a "crackdown" that will catch cheaters and increase revenue?

What this is REALLY all about is the Right going on the offensive to protect rich tax cheats. By scaring poor and middle class taxpayers. republiturds represent the wealthy. Democrats represent workers.

btw, we know Minus worships wealthy individuals, given his bigly praising of Elon Musk in a prior thread. So it's no surprise at all that he'd be all in on this lie.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Partisan Posts Misrepresent IRS' Voluntary Program Proposal on Tip Income. The IRS has proposed a voluntary program that employers could choose to use in order to manage the taxes owed on employees’ tips. The program would replace similar existing programs. But some partisan social media accounts have wrongly suggested that the program indicates either new taxes or increased enforcement. Neither is true. ... The proposal is "just a streamlining, essentially, of the whole setup", Eric Smith, spokesman for the IRS said [Factcheck.org 210/2023].

Joe Conservative said...

Yeah, like "digital dollars." It's just a test... @@

Joe Conservative said...

Who's returns will those IRS agents be auditing? You tell me. :(

Joe Conservative said...

See that $100-$200k line? Yep. THAT is where the money is/ comes from.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

"Who's returns will those IRS agents be auditing? You tell me"... people making 400k and up. As has been stated. Because that is where the cheating is occurring.

Who are the biggest tax cheats? The 1% ... A new study by a team of IRS analysts and academic economists, however, tells us that ... the 1% conceal as much as 21% of their income from tax collectors ... The unreported income for the 1%, households with more than about $420,000 in annual income, is as much as one-third higher than previously estimated... For the 0.1%, households with at least $7.5 million in annual income, it's 80% higher. [3/23/2021]

Joe Conservative said...

There are 3.4 million people in the top 1%. w/87,000 new IRS agents, that's one agent for every 40 men/women/children in the top 1%.

And given the IRS Audit history, they only recover at most 8% of the funds concealed out of those higher income categories.

ps - Wanna know where the "real cheating" occurs? With criminals who file NO INCOME TAX RETURNS (nothing to "audit").

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

The hiring of 87,000 is over 10 years. Many of the hires will be replacing people who will be retiring. The IRS is also understaffed. Of the new hires, many will be assisting ordinary taxpayers.

"They have about 8 million unprocessed 2021 returns and only answered 11% of calls in 2021", says Bill Smith, national director of tax technical services at CBIZ MHM's National Tax Office in Washington DC" :P

All new 87k IRS agents won't be auditing taxpayers earning over 400k. Only a small percentage of them will do that.

So why make the $400 k promise?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

It was in regards to what income category would be seeing increased audits.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

lol! Really? How many employees does HR Block have? IRS agents must be really slow and stupid workers.

Dervish Sanders said...

Huh? Non sequitur.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

HR Block is one of the largest tax return preparers in the country. It's better than a direct comparison. The IRS audits about the same number of returns as HR Block prepares.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

Apparently you believe that ALL the IRS does is audit returns. Who processes the returns in the first place? Another government agency? Which one?

lol! The original 87k employees already working for them, of course. The IRS audits the returns that the processing computer algorithms spit out. You think that humans still process the returns?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

No doubt they will be hiring many programmers to keep everything current and updated.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...to audit the tips of service industry workers making sub-minimum wages.

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

^^Minus derping^^

derp: The constant repeating of an opinion after facts have proved it incorrect, especially as a rhetorical tactic.

Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen directed IRS Commissioner Charles P. Rettig not to use the new funding to increase enforcement of taxpayers earning less than $400,000.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

lol! And that's a smaller and completely different part of the IRS.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Who needs "enforcement" when you can intimidate them into voluntary compliance?

The Prophet Dervish Z Sanders said...

LOL. Who needs facts when "you can just bkurt out anthing"?
