Chances Are Slim You'll Be Audited By The IRS

A day ahead of the filing deadline, the IRS says taxpayers have a historically low chance of being audited, because budget cuts have reduced the agency's ranks. 

Commissioner John Koskinen says the IRS will still go after the biggest tax scofflaws, but many will simply get away with it. This year, the IRS will have fewer people auditing returns than in the 1980s. Last year, 1 percent of returns were audited. Koskinen says this year, the numbers will go down. He says staff cuts have also hurt customer service. Millions of phone calls to IRS help centers are going unanswered.

This must be a joke, right? What sane person would believe anything the IRS says. I sure don't think the problem is for lack of help. Too busy trying to cover A$$e$ of the Prez on down would be a more correct statement, IMO.

of course the people with the most go gain by this are behind this scheme to control the Elections..

This is what we get for having a nefarious Community Organizer as President --

Given the 1000s of current cases of Voter Fraud by this President's legions having been reported totally ignored by his Lap Dog equally nefarious Media-and corrupt Justice Department...we will never see another fair election..

They created the problem in Palm Beach in 2000 and have since used it to justify Felony activism by the Public Sector it empowers.

Dear 11:52,

Please provide a link that accounts for these "1000s of current cases of Voter Fraud."

I would like to learn more about it but all of the sources I find only talk about two or three, here and there.

Thanks!
