How about we all just pull all our money out of the banks, not pay taxes, let it all crash, and tell the government to go screw itself

If you have documentation, so be it.

Just be aware that audits are typically generated through data mining to look for certain trends and that having any of your deductions or credits being out of what they consider normal range will immediately flag you.



If they feel that donation credits are being abused, they will throw checks out there looking by gross amount of the credit and percentage of the credit compared to other amounts on your return.

And they will go after the middle class. This isn't about the wealthy people.

You should file a correct and accurate return. That's the law.

You are implying that you lie and make shite up on your tax return. You are the exact person that should be audited and punished as you are a tax cheat.

Standard deduction is so high now makes it hard to do any fudging.

It’s those that try to still fudge the home office that are going to get the audit.

Caught myself in an audit from 2021. Guess that’s what I get for filling out my taxes myself and being a white male who voted for Trump. Got it down from owing 8k to a little over 1k though. Honest mistake. I feel like that meme that says “so you know exactly how much I’m supposed to owe but you won’t tell me?”

You should only be scared of any audit if you are doing shady shite and not following the law.

What a moronic take. If you have documentation and support for any positions you take on your return you are fine. You should only be scared of any audit if you are doing shady shite and not following the law. The IRS is not evil and there are actually some smart folks that work for the Service. They have plenty of issues that need to be fixed as well. The IRS has "no change" audits all the time. They will not frick with you endlessly to find something that is not there.

they already have AI looking at everyones bank account. it'll be automatic the whole way - people will get notices of audit for anything over x amount and they'll adjust the prosecutions to whatever depending on their manpower.

You didn’t honestly believe they hired all those folks to shoot right wing conservatives?

More reason to use standard deductions


If your deductions far outweigh the standard deduction this makes no sense. Like most non w-2 taxpayers.

Makes sense. Corporations, as well as the rich, need to pay their fair share


Define that. What percentage of the tax burden should they pay?

This is a naive post. The service is the sole jurisdiction where you are guilty until proven innocent. And they are aggressive.

“large corporations”


I guess married filing jointly with 3 kids is considered a “large corporation.”

But any way in the future I can imagine a day when an agent or a team of IRS agents are assigned to a specific company and work every day at the business site trying to balance that company’s income tax books to ensure the proper taxes are accounted for.
