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

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.

This doesn't sound right to me! What do you think?

Well gosh, so what? You ever work for the govt. Lakhota? I have, they fuck everything up, 100 man hours to do something that should take one, and they'll still fuck it up. Bet your ass Turbo Tax etc. is cheaper for the public. WAY cheaper.

The govt. isn't just fucking up, I mean developing a platform, they would have to fuck it up more, I mean maintain it. Bet your everything Turbo Tax etc. can do that cheaper than any govt. Way cheaper.

Think outside the box dude, these Republicans are way ahead of you. The more the private sector can do the better. Fuck our govt. Geezus, I know a family that builds great big beautiful buildings for the govt. They're all FAR, I say FAR too nice for govt. employees. Some are the world's best buildings. The builders are RICH, the govt. employees entitled, and you and I are the SUCKERS.

Shit, business is so good that company hardly builds private anymore. They changed directions with the O'bummer admin. What does that tell you? Rhetorical.

As we continue to run out of money, you'll see more and more of this sort of thing...

To save money means you fire IRS employees.

Yeah! The audacity of Republicans to try and PAY for new spending! "Put it on the cuff," says my liberal friends. Heck, your heirs of the future will curse us as they live in poverty, and wonder what war they're paying for that year and who refused to work was paid to stay home.
 
Your chart only goes up to 2020, Trump's last year, his tax cut was a disaster.

Biden has the interest approaching $1.5T as interest rates rise.
Sure was! REVENUES INCREASED until your friends in Communist China unleashed a deadly pandemic, from one of their labs, on the world.

Anyone can file their taxes for free.
 
21. What did JFK’s huge tax cuts do?
Oh yeah.
Spur economic growth and reduced deficit.
So did Reagan's tax cut.

The US economy is NOT like it was in the 1960s. Today we're a "service economy" not a manufacturing economy.

Cutting taxes now only grows the DEBT. We need to cut spending AND raise taxes to get back to a balanced budget.

Bullshit.
You owe money?

Tell your boss you demand a huge raise because you’re in debt.

Trump's tax cuts are a disaster. They grew the Debt. We need to raise taxes AND cut spending to stop the borrowing.

If we don't the dollar collapses and we turn into Greece or Venezuela.

You do know that our credit rating was just lowered, right? Next downgrade is to "JUNK".
