Members phkrause Posted March 7, 2023 Members Share Posted March 7, 2023 The IRS is proving what government can do when it’s actually adequately funded It’s pretty remarkable, what happens when government is adequately funded. The Internal Revenue Service is proving it, already putting its new funding to use to making this a normal, relatively painless tax season. Just last fall, it got nearly $80 billion to spend over the next 10 years in the Inflation Reduction Act and it turned it around fast, thanks entirely to congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden. That’s the funding, by the way, that Barely Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his band of maniacs tried to repeal in their first big policy bill—the bill that would have cost the nation $114 billion over the next decade. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/3/3/2156053/-The-IRS-is-working-Really-well-Take-that-House-GOP?

Members phkrause Posted July 9, 2023 Author Members Share Posted July 9, 2023 2023 was one of the smoothest tax seasons in recent years. Why? Because, thanks to investments in the IRS, the agency is finally improving call wait times and reducing its backlog in processing paper tax returns. What was Congress’ response? House Republicans voted to gut funding for the IRS and even introduced a bill to abolish the agency entirely. But they’re not done. House Republicans now want to cut IRS funding by over $1 billion in this years’ budget, plus an additional two-year $20 billion cut Kevin McCarthy demanded in debt ceiling negotiations, which will limit the IRS’s capacity to go after wealthy and corporate tax cheats. This is part of a long term plan to weaken the IRS and make it easier for the richest 1% to dodge taxes. Because tax returns for the wealthy and corporations are so complex, it takes agents months -- and even years -- to audit them. But, due to disinvestments in the IRS between 2010 and 2017, audit rates on millionaires and corporations had previously dropped by 71% and 54% respectively.1,2 Instead of cuts to the IRS, we’re demanding Congress invest in the agency to crack down on rich tax cheats. When Congress invests in the IRS, it allows the agency to audit wealthy tax dodgers, with the recovered income far exceeding the cost of the audit by more than 2 to 1.3 Think of what we could fund with those extra tax dollars. Nutrition programs, housing assistance, early education, services for people with disabilities, the aging, and so much more. The Senate Appropriations Committee is taking up their IRS funding bill next week. They must hear from us about why investing funding in the IRS is so important. Not only will cracking down on tax cheats leave us with billions of dollars to invest in our communities, it will also continue to make tax season smoother for law-abiding people who pay their fair share. Meredith Dodson Senior Director of Public Policy, Coalition on Human Needs 1 Congress Needs to Take Two Steps to Fund the IRS for the Short and Long Term 2 Wyden Hearing Statement on House Republican IRS Funding Cuts Undermining Law Enforcement and Taxpayer Service 3 How much did Congress lose by defunding the IRS? Way more than we thought. The wealthy and large corporations exploit tax loopholes and dodge taxes to avoid paying $1 trillion in taxes each year, according to Charles Rettig, the former commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service.1 And it seems that Speaker Kevin McCarthy and members of the House of Representatives are just fine with that. In their first order of business this session, House Republicans voted to rescind $72 billion of the $80 billion of investments the agency received as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. When their plan was DOA in the Senate, Speaker McCarthy demanded a two-year $20 billion cut in IRS funding in the debt ceiling agreement. And now, in addition, the House Appropriations Committee has put forward a plan that cuts more than $1 billion in IRS funding from the previous year’s budget. Cutting IRS funding by $1 billion -- or 9% -- from last year would undermine the IRS’ capacity to collect taxes already owed from those with high incomes, along with limiting the IRS’s ability to serve everyday taxpayers, who have faced egregiously long hold times for phone calls and a significantly longer time processing and paying out tax refunds. We cannot continue to allow a small, wealthy minority to get out of paying their fair share in taxes when most of us pay taxes with every paycheck. Deborah Weinstein Executive Director, Coalition on Human Needs 1Tax cheats cost the U.S. $1 trillion per year, I.R.S. chief says.

Key questions: Where do I start: Tom O’Saben, director of tax content and government relations at the National Association of Tax Professionals, recommends gathering all your documents in one place before you start your tax return and having your documents from last year if your financial situation has drastically changed. How do I file my taxes: You can either file your taxes online or on paper. However, there is a time difference between the two options. Paper filing can take up to six months to process, while electronic filing cuts it down to three weeks. Taxpayers have until April 15 to submit their returns from 2023. What resources are out there: The IRS is piloting a program, called Direct File, where you can file your federal taxes online for free. This program is now available in 12 states.

That's likely because of new tax brackets, an increased standard deduction and higher limits for 401(k) plans. But there was a 3.3% drop in the total number of refunds processed — and there's no clear explanation for why fewer people would be getting refunds this year. These figures could change once last-minute returns are accounted for. 🏦 Why it matters: Nearly a third of taxpayers say they depend on tax refunds to make ends meet, according to a Credit Karma survey.
