My wife and I were audited, most likely because we itemized deductions and listed 5-6 conservative non profits, Judicial Watch among them. After appealing their initial decision, I provided the IRS with around 100 pages of supporting documents within the allottted time period. My next contact from the IRS was a letter simply stating that I still owed them money. No mention was made of the supplied documents which, by the way, indicated that we were owed a greater return than originally filed. To shorten this story, I had to engage my CPA in the dispute and pay him an additional $1,800 just to have my initial return (prepared by him) accepted as filed. In the words of my CPA, we were either targeted or stumbled upon the worst (and least knowledgeable) IRS auditor ever (based on the items questioned and failure to follow procedure).
Based on my experience, I do not trust government. I find it easy to believe that Obama or the Deep State weaponized our legal system. All of this is happening when new protests seem to be erupting on a weekly basis. Is this a coincidence? Could it be that Trump’s surprise election so wounded a plan to alter the United States that they were forced to take retaliatory actions against him?
I find that easy to believe also.
The liberals thought they were breezing their way to an easy win and President Trump ruined their grand plan.
Everyone knows about 0bama’s penchant for getting even, he wasn’t bashful about it and even stated it publicly.
The minions in his administration had years of practice in following his example.
It’s no coincidence, in my view.
