    To everybody saying the IRS already knows what you make, Americas tax code is probably a little more complicated than that, and the IRS can’t even afford windows 2000. So no, you can’t just do the simple checkbox saying everything looks just about right. And that’s before we get into every state piggybacking off of the IRS form.

    I’d say tell your legislator to give more money to the IRS, but “gestures at everything else happening”

      Yes but spending money the IRS literally provides the funds to spend money on “gestures at everything else”

      When republicans yell “starve the beast!” when talking about the USA government, what they really mean is kill the IRS. They will tell you it’s about reducing government spending, that’s a lie! They love overspending so they can reduce taxes for the billionaires
