    I got audited, paid $8k of owed taxes plus interest (on a salary of like $36k) after the accountant I hired fucked up. I did not whine and hide my taxes or attempt to disassemble the IRS.

      Isn’t it crazy though? Makes you wonder how much it costed them to do this audit compared to what they got you to pay back. I’m not saying it’s not fair, it’s just nuts that they can care that much about the little change that this is compared to actual people committing tax fraud every year willingly and possibly never get caught.

        Straight from the horse’s mouth they don’t have enough funding to go after the big guys so they do small time busts. I’ve said this before but for every dollar in IRS funding the US got $5 back. You would think doge would be all over this quintuple tax revenue thing. It’s almost like they’re not genuine at all.
