First of all. Your vanity doesn’t belong in Breaking News.

Secondly, unless you have something huge to hide, why would you worry about an IRS audit for legitimate contributions to your congressman?

Thirdly, by posting your vanity on Free Republic, which could be monitored by the IRS, as a Right Wing, Constitutional, Tea Party, Liberty loving site, you have now drawn lots of attention to yourself...lol.

That's the most astonishing question I think I've ever seen on FR. EVER. Wow. Really?

Having been audited (no, not recently, and not for political purposes, and no they didn't find anything weird), I totally understand why someone would not want that to happen.

The IRS can hold you up on next to nothing, cause you to pay money to your accountants and lawyer, cause you to cough up money for very little reason, pay penalties and interest, and generally make you sweat for no good reason.

With them it's power, you are guilty unless you can PROVE your innocence, the reverse of the normal court of law.

Have you ever been audited?

I contributed, for the first time ever, to a congressional campaign in 2010 and received an audit notice for the years 2008 and 2009 shortly thereafter. I had never been audited in 34 years of filing returns. It cost me $3800 for the accountants for 12 hours and two days away from my business plus countless hours getting records together. NO new tax. So even if you have nothing to hide it will cost you money and time.

Yep, there will soon be issued an IRS BOLO bulletin for people with the first name “Jonathan”. :-)

Surely you jest! "Unless you have something to hide"?!?!? How much have you spent on CPAs and attorneys to merely comply with requests from governmental agencies, including the IRS? I spend hundreds of thousands annually - and I have "nothing to hide". That is the same absurd statement that has led to the patriot act with its ever tightening noose, CISPA, etc. It doesn't hold water.
