Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

      I mean, they’re planning to gut the IRS so who would be able to come after us 🤷‍♀️

        Unless you’re a business owner or otherwise have wildly unorthodox taxes you’ll be grabbed by a computer automatically. If your money comes from an employer or investments(and plenty of other sources) it’s all electronically sent to the IRS.

        The IRS employees are needed more for people that own multiple businesses and do shady deductions. It’s much easier to claim the same deduction multiple times for the same expense that way and it’s harder to track it across tax entities.

        Gutting of the IRS is only going to impact the massive headcount needed to go after tge billionaires. They’ll still have plenty of people for the poor people.

          This is what no one gets… they already avoided most rich tax frauds cause it was too expensive to fight them in court… getting poor folk is easy.

      This will be in effect next tax season I think. This tax season’s policy is already in place
