To Pay For Israeli Aid, GOP Wants To Make It More Expensive For You To File Your Taxes

[Lakhota]

Republicans are looking at defunding a free digital tax filing system that's under development by the IRS to instead help pay for weapons for Israel.

Republicans are looking to cut funding for the free digital tax filing system currently being developed by the Internal Revenue Service to instead offset the $14 billion emergency request for military aid for Israel’s war in Gaza.

After House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) declared that Republicans insisted on cutting the budget to pay for the Israel war funding bill, the House Rules Committee released legislation on Monday that includes $14 billion in cuts to the IRS. That $14 billion will come out of the $67 billion that remains in additional IRS funding included in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act.

The boost to IRS funding in the Inflation Reduction Act sought to aid the agency’s efforts to police tax evasion by the wealthy and update and upgrade the IRS’s internal and public-facing systems and software.

In addition to targeting the free digital filing program, the GOP offsets would cut funding at the IRS for enforcement, operations support, policymaking and internal investigations. The only sections of the IRS funding spared from proposed cuts are assistance for taxpayers and modernization of internal business systems.

Tax preparation companies including TurboTax, Intuit and H&R Block have long opposed the creation of a free digital tax filing system by the IRS, spending tens of millions of dollars on lobbying efforts. The government and the companies came to an agreement in 2002 for the government to not pursue a free online filing system and, in turn, the tax preparers would offer their services free to filers who make less than $73,000 per year. That agreement is set to expire in 2025, based on an amendment issued last March.

Stop filing altogether....Doesn't get any cheaper than that.

If the Dems have other cuts from Bidens stupid spending they'd like to offer instead,
they should let us know.

Trump's 2021 Budget was $4T

Biden's budgets are ~$7T

Mike needs to cut $3T for starters

The Secretary (of the Treasury) or his designee (see below) has to inform you that you must file. How many have received such notification?

Well, there is a statute that says the Secretary (of the Treasury) or his designee has to inform you that you must file. How many have received such notification?

Not me.

"cut funding for the free digital tax filing system currently being developed"

So what I see here is cutting funding for something nobody ever had and for all we know would never see.

Sorry to break it to you OP but the .gov is not into saving anybody anything.

Indeed, it seems to me the IRS was way overfunded, much like when the EPA "found" 5 billion to finance Tater's "American Climate Corps".

https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/20/politics/climate-grants-biden-epa/index.html#:~:text=The%20Climate%20Pollution%20Reduction%20Grants%20program%2C%20which%20will,that%20was%20part%20of%20the%20Inflation%20Reduction%20Act.

Lots of agencies got them a fat slush fund under the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act".

$14 billions for tax filing software? I think private companies have done it for 1% of that figure.

With so many things coming true, that one would have wanted to dismiss as batshit-crazy conspiracy theories, I guess the purveyors of genuine batshit-crazy conspiracy theories are running out of creative ideas on which to base them.

This has got to be one of the least creative, and least interesting batshit-crazy conspiracy theories that I have ever heard.

I've been filing free digitally for years, why should the IRS be spending on a new system that will probably take years to get it working anyways?
