I didn't think of that. The hanging chad identified me as a 47% non taxpayer which speeded up my refund.
Every Conservative who has been audited or harassed by any Alphabet Agency should join in a Class Action suit and collect reparations, just like the Pigford plantiffs.
You said it ALL in that sentence.
Unless people are threatened with LOSS and setup to be made GRIM reminders to future offenders, and others who might think "carrying the water", is less than prudent.
Purge of IRS, OSHA, EPA, and every other federal agency that are used as modern day “white collar” armies against those of opposing beliefs, just as feudal barons had their bands of knights, or drug gangs have their “home-boys” do rough up and intimidate - in modern day America we have branches of our own government to oppress and intimidate half the population.
“Romney hasn’t paid taxes in 10 years.”
For the several years leading up to 2009, I was President and a major stockholder in a tech corporate startup, but in March of that year, it was clear product lines such as ours were being targeted for litigation by Hollywood copyright cartel denizens. Even though our company had not been sued, a similar company had been sued, and at that time had recently lost an appeal in court.
I as President was unable to get further financing for our new product launch, and no acquirer was identified before the unavoidable board decision to close the doors was made by tapped-out stockholders. Employees were laid off and took unemployment, corporate assets were sold, and all the income from that were distributed pro-rata to employees only, excluding myself. No other creditors’ debts were satisfied. No individuals or groups of creditors saw fit to bring litigation. However, inasmuch as employee amounts due were not fully satisfied, my state’s Democrat-controlled department of labor saw fit to bring administrative action. I was administratively judged by the state to be personally responsible for corporate debt, as I, being President and only one left, made all the decisions as to who got paid out of the sell-off.
The threats from the administrative law judge were copious and involved penalties of $1000/day. My lawyer said I was not being judged according to the law, so I continued fighting. The state’s AG then brought suit in court. For two years I was furthered threatened and forced to shell out to defend myself, monies I would dearly have preferred go to my favorite conservative candidates and FR.
When the case finally went to trial, I was awarded summary judgment. The state had failed to bring a valid case, said the judge. The department of labor’s administrative law judge AND the AG should easily have seen the facts and law before them the exact same way, but I believe I was targeted because I have been a Republican, not Democrat donor, and have been a 30-year small businessman. These apparatchiks are and bald-faced, lying thugs acting under color of authority with respect to political payback and their knowingly false interpretation of business law, IMHO.

Look for cases from 2010 in the near future. Most individuals are advised against speaking publicly about the IRS’s personal cases against them (see feminist philosophy: “the personal is political”).
I get 2 pension 1099s. Got a letter. Really?

Could the situation at the IRS get any worse? McClatchy joins CBS News in postulating that the scandal may well expand to more than just applications for tax-exempt status. Both news agencies are starting to take complaints about predatory and punitive audits and other actions and put them into a very ugly pattern -- and ask some very difficult questions of the Obama administration... McClatchy includes the case of Catherine Engelbrecht, which CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson co-reported yesterday... Engelbrecht’s business got harassed by the FBI, ATF, and OSHA as well, which would mean coordination far above the Treasury Department... the case of an anti-abortion group that was told they couldn’t picket Planned Parenthood locations if they wanted to keep their exemption... a Nebraska veteran who got hassled in an IRS audit over his donations to his church once he began donating to conservative causes... The House Oversight Committee will hold hearings over the next two weeks to take testimony from the low-level employees in Cincinnati that Lois Lerner and her former bosses Douglas Shulman and Steven Miller tried to turn into scapegoats...When we have no recourse to law, we still have recourse to lawlessness. The Demagogic Party can't be trusted with a burned-out match, and must be swept out of power. If they won't go without a fight, then swept out permanently.
They should sue the Democrat party out of existence and go for damages against individuals like Obama, Holder, Soros, and anyone else that can be shown to have known, collaborated, and benefited from the abuse of power.
McClatchy apparently neglected to mention that Catherine Engelbrecht is the head of a Tea Party group called True The Vote, which as its name implies, was and is active in attempting to curb fraud and cheating in the voting process, thereby attempting to strengthen the integrity of the elections.
Not surprising that she and her group and her businesses were the victims of maximum repression by the Obama administration, even more so than than other "conservative" groups and individuals. Reserving the absolute worst for Mrs. Engelbrecht is, practically speaking, a tacit admission from the administration that electoral fraud and cheating was an integral component of the Obama re-election strategy in 2012.
What kind of shenanigans were pulled by the 'Rats at the polls last year and to what extent did they determine the final outcome? A case can be made that, given the discrepancy between reputable pre-election polls and the reported outcome of the election, especially in the swing states, the 'Rats fraud and cheating was decisive in the outcome.
This also poses a good response to "If you're not doing anything illegal, what do you have to worry about". It is entirely right and proper for people to do things they want to keep confidential, and to not trust that government will keep it that way.

Is this the showdown we've all been fearing?
Then there are the EITC filings ~ Congress has pretty much demanded all of those returns have to be audited ~ that was up to 30% of all audits last time anyone looked.,
The maximum possible return to the government would be about $50 billion if all those returns were falsified or fraudulent.
You could get more than that checking out the folks on Warren Buffett's cellphone list. Actually, you could probably get that every week ~
What I'm saying is sinple ~ just because you got audited doesn't mean IRS thought you were cheating.
Hey, my very good friend is a high level person at the SEC in D.C.
I get lots of "inside" information in discussions with him.
I'll say it again... INDICTMENTS will get people spilling their guts whatever level they're at.
