IRS Targeting 2013 Returns Before Filed
Posted by taxguru on March 11, 2014
Almost everyone is aware of the normal time-frame for an IRS audit. A year or so after the tax return is filed, a letter is received from IRS announcing an examination and spelling out certain items that they want to see documentation for. How about receiving a letter from IRS now, before your 2013 tax return is even submitted, announcing that it is going to be audited? That was the story of a lady from Bristol, Indiana, who called in to the Rush Limbaugh Show yesterday. She believes that this threatening letter was due to her donations to the Romney 2012 campaign and IRS is trying to scare people from donating to GOP candidates for 2014. With what we know about the BHO Regime’s use of IRS to harass political opponents, who can deny this to be entirely plausible.
Because Rush was out and Mark Steyn was filling in, there was no text transcript of the show as is the case for all of the shows Rush hosts; so I excerpted the audio segments dealing with this topic and hopefully, it will show up in a player here in this post.
I have had cases where clients had come in who had not filed several years of tax returns and IRS or FTB was on their butts to bring everything up to date. In those cases, either implicitly or explicitly, I knew that some or all of those returns could be audited. However, I had never heard of an announced audit of a current year tax return that hadn’t even been filed yet.
I hope Patricia and her husband file for an extension for their 2013 returns and they raise holy hell to their US Senator and CongressCritter to investigate this clear abuse of power and that anyone else in a similar situation does the same. While it’s hard to tell, Congress does still technically have funding power over the IRS. As Mark Steyn says, we need to push back against blatant abuses such as this. If we just meekly bend over and allow IRS to have its way with us, this can only get worse. If enough people stand up and tell BHO and his IRS goons that they will continue to donate to the candidates of their choice, we may be able to slow them down with their Gestapo tactics.

Some people still care about the IRS crimes
Posted by taxguru on March 3, 2014
While the MSM continue their job of covering up the misdeeds of their Fellow Travelers in the JackAss Party, I’m glad to see there are still some people trying to shed some light on the crimes undertaken by IRS personnel on behalf of the out of control BHO Regime. It probably won’t change anything; but eventually more of the public should reach their tipping point when it comes to abuses of power by the current pResident in the White House.

Escalating IRS Abuses
Posted by taxguru on February 6, 2014
With the current Liar In Chief denying any corruption in his Regime, the chances of the IRS voluntarily agreeing to curb their abuses of power and obey the law have fallen to zero. Once again, any relief from IRS harassment will depend on the willingness of the GOP to stand up to BHO. In other words, it’s going to continue to be a bumpy ride for those of us voicing opposition to the unconstitutional policies of the BHO Regime.
Although the MSM is continuing its job of covering up the BHO Regime’s crimes, there are some news outlets brave enough to cover the IRS story.

Do not send 1099s & W-2s to IRS too early
Posted by taxguru on January 24, 2014
Every year at this time, I need to remind people that being quick to prepare and send 1099s to IRS can lead to problems, such as in this email I sent to a client.
In regard to filing W-2s and 1099s, a common mistake people make is sending them too soon to the IRS and State. The due dates are staggered for a very good reason.
By January 31, you are supposed to send copies of the W-2s and 1099s to the payees. If they see any problems with any of the info on the forms, they need to get back to you and have you correct them.
It’s not until Feb 28 that the IRS and DFA are supposed to be sent their copies.
Big problems happen if you send in W-2s and 1099s with errors on them too soon. You will then have to prepare Corrected forms and send those in. What often happens is that IRS misses the checked Corrected box and sees two 1099s or W-2s for the payee and sends them tax due notices for not reporting the income from both the original and corrected forms. I have seen this happen a lot.
The best way to avoid this is to only send IRS and DFA one original form and try to avoid sending in corrected ones. When I send out 1099s, I include a note to the payee to get back to me ASAP with any corrections. If they wait until after Feb 28 to notify me of mistakes, the hassles they will face with IRS mishandling of corrected forms will be their fault. Also, to make it easier for them to see how the amounts were determined, I include a printout of their payments from my QuickBooks file.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Kerry

FBI Coverup of IRS Crimes

While the MSM continues to ignore the IRS crimes, at least a few of the more honest news outlets are addressing them. The Nixon coverups after WaterGate pale in comparison to those by the BHO Regime.

IRS plans to stifle free speech even more…
Posted by taxguru on January 13, 2014
Those who thought the exposure of the IRS’s criminal attacks on conservative groups would result in their stopping such actions were naive as to how the BHO Regime functions. This is an interesting video on how the Regime is continuing to use IRS to shut up any opposition groups.
Proposed IRS Regs Would Immediately, Unlawfully and Permanently Muzzle Conservatives
Of course, in true DemonRat fashion, these rules will not apply to any group supporting the BHO Regime and its socialist policies. Nor will we hear or see any criticism of these attacks from the BHO lap-dogs in the drive-by media.
