WASHINGTON — Budget cuts forced the IRS to reduce the number of tax audits last year to the lowest level in a decade, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Tuesday. And the number of audits could be even lower this year.
"The math is pretty simple," Koskinen said in a speech to the New York State Bar Association. "There are fewer audits because we have fewer auditors."
"Audits fell in virtually every individual category and across income levels," Koskinen said. "This continues a long-term trend that carries serious implications for our tax system and the nation."

Then I'm OK with claiming 2 dogs as dependants?
ReplyDelete10:19 Better yet, claim the max dependants during the year, almost no taxes taken out. Then, at the end of the year, get a $10,000+ tax rebate check on your $20,000 salary. That doesn't include all of the entitlement programs you can eat up throughout the year. It's real, and being done locally. F-ing crooks.
