zero
don’t we wish

I think it is up 90k
and if that does not work, they will up it again

[lavaroise]

Make no mistake. The no term limits unlimitted government uniparty loves the IRS and its thugs

[napscoordinator]

We had a perfect opportunity to ease the tax process with the 2017 tax bill but blew it. It could have resulted in a flat tax type of scenario. But instead our tax code is even larger with taxes going up to historic levels in 2025. The largest tax increase ever.

Deep State’s war on the middle class continues apace.

If anybody believes that the IRS has hired 90,000 agents I have swampland in Florida for sale. 😉

[combat_boots]

I understand people aren’t applying

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes I’ve heard the IRS has been shrunk down to practically nothing and is attached to the Treasury Department. The building in DC is abandoned and has sand bags around it.

[Night Hides Not]

I understand people aren’t applying.

There's this little thing called a "drug test". These jobs only pay about $40K a year, no one's gonna give up their weed for that.

I work in the tax department of a large real estate company in Dallas. We prepared over 150 partnership returns this tax season. The two gentlemen I work for have encyclopedic knowledge of the tax code. The IRS will be wasting their time and money auditing our returns.

I would guess that OVER 80% of filers make UNDER $400,000.

[ridesthemiles]

I did bookkeeping for small businesses for over 53 years.

I TYPED UP MORE 1099’s than I care to even think about

[combat_boots]

An accountant friend told me that.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m sure you’re right. Everything in the news is lies and deep state propaganda.

[Chickensoup]

86000+3700=89700

Where do you think all the leftists from tech companies are going?

[Chickensoup]

I do.

There are no longer the number of unemployed techs that the different companies laid off.

[Georgia Girl 2]

They’re not going to the IRS. I doubt the IRS is hardly functioning at this point. Much less hiring 87,000 people. Doubtful they can get a significant amount of applications. Nobody wants to work right now.

In related news - the IRS recently announced a “pause” in accepting Employee Retention Tax Credit applications/claims. The pause is until December 31, 2023. I guess it could be extended later.
Can you imagine how infrequently your phone would ring if there was no such thing as the ERTC?

[combat_boots]

Well, it did surprise me.
