Cry me a river. In 1970 all returns were paper and therefore had to be done manually.
Maybe it’s time for a flat tax and some IRS agents to #LearnToCode?
They had no trouble whatsoever sending me a reminder of what I owe. Very efficient with that...
Switch to a national retail sales tax and cancel the income tax. Lot less paper. And the black market money gets taxed like any other money. And poor people pay taxes (as they should).
Such bull. They have billions of dollars. The question is how they use it. No government agency is underfunded. They either use their money for the right purpose or they waste on woke programs and investigating republicans. But the lack of money is never an issue.
They lost me even before the end of the first sentence.
and the Illegals all over the world get their free money within 2 weeks
Are they sure that’s not just a picture of the the card copy our current tax code?
The 10,000 new agents being added since march 2022 just won’t be enough I guess.
They cashed my check immediately.
BY NOT PROCESSING these returns, Biden & group are holding onto $$$$$$$$$ that belongs to Americans.
IS he hiding MORE SHORTAGES?????
Politicized, weaponized, and a thorn in the side of all. It’s overfunded by 100%. When will a real politician try to abolish the IRS and impose a simple nationwide sales tax? I know... it’s a rhetorical question.
“””new pandemic responsibilities, understaffing, and underfunding.”””
This is typical blather from any government agency. The IRS is not unique.
From local school teachers to city employees to state employees to federal employees, they all complain about how they are understaffed and underpaid.
What is missing in the government employment picture is the total lack of REORGANIZING DEPARTMENTS and getting rid of non-productive employees and getting rid of jobs that are no longer necessary.
The government employee unions protect their people.
I haven’t gotten a refund in 25 years. My take is that if I’m owed a refund it means I had too much taken out over the year.
No, learning how to do more with less makes you more efficient. Simply throwing more bodies at old inefficient processes doesn't make anything more efficient.
The only thing the IRS excels at is destroying conservative people and organizations.
No government department - anywhere - is underfunded and understaffed.
I never get refunds.
That is because I pay my tax on 4/15 and not BEFORE!
They certainly have enough people to cash my check.
You stupid shits that expect refunds, had better figure it out.
I will guess all those paper files are from the people who did not get their final Covid Stimulus check.
.....”funding” is not the issue. “Human nature” IS the issue.
You stack 100 tax returns on the corner of the average (meaning “average” quality of employee) person/employee of IRS and after they read through 50 of them they are asleep or passed out or comatose or they QUIT. The NEXT day they don’t even want to go to work.
The whole CONCEPT of reviewing 100 million tax returns every year is bogus and will NEVER work no matter what the IRS budget is and this photograph proves it.
A Flat Tax or National sales tax or some similar method that can be handled by computers TOTALLY is the only answer to generating tax revenue for the Federal Government.
Lincoln started an “Internal Revenue” agency in 1862 when the population of the US was 27 million and tax dollars were needed for the war effort. America’s population is now 330 million and growing. Current IRS collection schemes are an IMPOSSIBLE situation !!!
The bureaucrats get paid no matter what.
it’s been months of waiting but now i think i see my paperwork sitting eight rows back..
