WASHINGTON (AP) - The IRS says it is severing ties with ACORN, the community activist group involved in a scandal after employees were caught on video giving advice to a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp.

The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday it would no longer include ACORN in its volunteer tax assistance program. The program offered free tax advice to about 3 million low- and moderate-income tax filers this spring

When will the IRS sever ties with the Obama administration over scandals?

I mean, look at the list of tax cheats.

what low income families pay taxes anymore?

They weren't helping low income families, they were helping pimps, hookers and human traffickers.

Those people do have some money to hide.

Actually, it appears ACORN was preparing the tax returns so the filers could take them to someone, like H&R Block, to get them filed. The E-Filer just verifies the return. By doing it this way, the E-Filer can make money,without being th “Paid Preparer”, knowing full well the return is just a rubber stamp with different SSNs.

The IRS is the Obama tool for the redistribution of wealth in America. Distancing themselves from Whoremongers , crack homies,and pimp backers, won’t change that fact. Obama intends to end IRS privacy for individuals.

Read S. 431 of HR 3200:

What it says, pages 195-196, SEC. 431. DISCLOSURES TO CARRY OUT HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGE SUBSIDIES.

‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary, upon written request from the Health Choices Commissioner or the head of a State-based health insurance exchange approved for operation under section 208 of the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009, shall disclose to officers and employees of the Health Choices Administration or such State-based health insurance exchange, as the case may be, return information of any taxpayer whose income is relevant in determining any affordability credit described in subtitle C of title II of the America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. Such return information shall be limited to—

‘‘(i) taxpayer identity information with respect to such taxpayer,

‘‘(ii) the filing status of such taxpayer,

‘‘(iii) the modified adjusted gross income of such taxpayer (as defined in section 59B(e)(5)),

‘‘(iv) the number of dependents of the taxpayer,

‘‘(v) such other information as is prescribed by the Secretary by regulation as might indicate whether the taxpayer is eligible for such affordability credits (and the amount thereof), and

‘‘(vi) the taxable year with respect to which the preceding information relates or, if applicable, the fact that such information is not available.

And, page 145, section 312, EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS EMPLOYEE AND DEPENDENT COVERAGE:

(3) PROVISION OF INFORMATION.—The employer provides the Health Choices Commissioner, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, and the Secretary of the Treasury, as applicable, with such information as the Commissioner may require to ascertain compliance with the requirements of this section.

EVALUATION OF THE PASSAGE:

1. This section amends the Internal Revenue Code

2. The bill opens up income tax return information to federal officials.

3. Any stated “limits” to such information are circumvented by item (v), which allows federal officials to decide what information is needed.

4. Employers are required to report whatever information the government says it needs to enforce the plan.

Not many. The EIC is going crazy. A lady who I helped with taxes this year brought home over $7000 in redistributed wealth. Blew the whole wad on a second hand gas guzzling SUV that's nicer than anything I have.

Then she came back - said she forgot child care expenses, supposedly paid to her mom. The amended return brought her another 5 bills. Spent it on weed.
