IRS = Leftist hit squad. The power to tax is the power to destroy. And now the IRS has its own SWAT team to put the boot to your throat. Good luck with working within the system, because the system is now out to crush any of the leftist’s opposition.

Could have been anyone that disagreed with your tea party affiliation, and they can hide behind confidentuality.

Same thing happened to me...twice.
Don’t panic and get a tax lawyer.

[IC Ken]

I got audited every single year Clinton was President. 8 years in a row.

[yldstrk]

settle quickly and pay to get them off your back

[G Larry]

Publish their questions and your answers in the local paper.

what is a Tea Party Flag if I may ask . ?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep, get a tax attorney to represent you because the IRS has no problem breaking the law in order to intimidate you into paying more taxes.

Those questions should be easy to answer. Go to the local tax collector and get receipts. Go to her school and get report cards showing your address, doctor bills, daycare receipts, etc.

We always counsel parents who share custody, especially in the same town as the other parent, to be sure and change the address on the above items, even if only for a short time. Establish the paper trail.

If that’s all they want, it’s pretty routine.

1. Hire attorney.
2. Leave the Peoples Republic of New York.
3. Sue, claiming the audit was targeted based on your exercising free speech rights.
4. With the money you’ll save in taxes by living in the free zone, celebrate by buying a gun, some ammunition, a high-capacity magazine, and some large-sized sodas.

You’re always welcome here in Michigan.

My idea is for the love of God please ignore people who say you are supposed to start sending around subpoenas. Getting yourself flagged a nut-job will end up just getting you tossed from IRS examination division over to the loving care of your local US Attorney/FBI tax evasion team.

IRS examination division happily dismisses cases when they see docs, and for 99% of the balance gives you a payment plan on back taxes with interest and perhaps a small penalty.

The tax evasion team, not so much. They will go over your life with a fine-tooth comb. They are motivated to get indictments and they usually do. They are “happy” to see you avoid prison by pleading to a first-timer felony, getting three years of probation, a six figure legal bill and a massive fine, and lifelong unemployability.

um... show them the receipts from you paying your taxes ( you can even get them printed out again down at the tax office ) then simply make copies of your kids birth certificates (or you can order new copies from the state) and your done.

I am not sure what the big deal here is.

[Arrowhead1952]

i'm also expected to not only provide my daughters birth certificate

Tell them you will provide the birth certificate as soon as bummer shows his real BC.

[ken5050]

You’re in good company. Jon Karl and Ed Henry just got their audit notices t his morning..

[1Old Pro]

Obama’s legacy, turning the IRS into a politically motivated tool to punish the opposition. I never would have believed it, but it’s true.

[deport]

Can’t you prove your taxes you paid?

[Linda Frances]

We also were audited for the first time. We give to our church (evangelical) and other Christian organizations which may have been on one of those watch phrases. My husband is meticulous on making sure everything is perfect. He had someone go over our taxes at work and found out he left out something he could have written off but didn’t. We should have paid $500 less than we did. Just hope they don’t fine us for a mistake in our favor.

Check with the Governors Office. I believe he said you are not welcome in the state of New York. Come on down south. Plenty of friendly states to choose from.
