That constituent he’s talking about is my FIL.

Credit card processor screwed up something when doing something to accept Amex several years ago. Because of that they withheld taxes from them in their store that should not have been done. To the tune of a couple hundred thousand dollars.

They have been trying to get that money back for 3 yrs and Burchett is one of people trying to help him. IRS has yet to release the money and they won’t give Burchett or anyone else a reason why or a time line.

Interest on 200k at a modest 4.5 percent for 3 years is 27k. Think they get that??

Your FIL is due a huge recompense...I hope DOGE sorts it out and reimbursements will be given to everyone.

What’s the freaking point of this? You don’t need DOGE to figure out why dealing with the IRS is mind numbing. Just look at the employees.


Correct. You don't. The Department of the Treasury is there already. You go right to them. The IRS is a subset of Treasury.


Any actions of DOGE needs to be on fraud. That's where the savings is right now.
