DEAR LORD. "THE STUPID". IT BURNS.
The #RacistInChief fired his own (unqualified) head of the #IRS b/c he wouldn't break the law by giving #ICE the names & addresses of undocumented TAXPAYERS.
These people dutifully PAY MILLIONS into the gov't knowing they'll get nothing in return. Pure gravy for the federal coffers.
Surest way to ensure they stop doing that is to use their tax records to go after them.
#Rapists, #Murderers & #DrugDealers my ass.

Fired IRS chief jokes he wanted to join ICE but Trump thought he said ‘Iceland’ https://www.byteseu.com/1278912/ #DonaldTrump #economy #Iceland #irs
IRS guy refused to cave to fascism and
was fired.
From the guy who fought the release of his tax returns comes this.
The Internal Revenue Service clashed with the White House over using tax data to help locate suspected undocumented immigrants hours before Trump administration officials forced IRS Commissioner Billy Long from his post Friday, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Trump Fires IRS Chief for Not Providing Confidential Taxpayer Data
Share ShareWith all the obvious reasons that the IRS commissioner should not have held that position, the reason that Trump removed him on Friday was that the agency would not release private data on taxpayers who have not yet attained citizenship.

~ Trump Removes Billy Long as Head of IRS ~
#IRS Commissioner Billy Long has been fired by #Trump. #Treasury secretary #Bennett will hold the position 'temporarily' making him the sixth person this year to oversee the critical agency under Trump. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/economics/trump-replaces-irs-chief-with-bessent-rcna223965
Does the #IRS even know who gives orders, anymore?
The chaotic #ClownCarCabinet that is the essential signature trait of the #TurdReich doesn't stop at the top.
Local IRS offices have had commisisoners sacked, at a pin drop, no explanation or any warning.
It's not about what and who, the CHAOS is the point.
Corruption thrives in the chaotic inability to track money.

Well, this is f*cking annoying!!!
Just went to my PO & found a #DueBill from the #IRS who recalculated my 2024 #IncomeTax liability and which said that I owe them an extra $1740 plus $260 in late penalties & interest for my 2024 #IncomeTax return.
Too much trouble to see if their calculations are correct & to appeal the recalc if they're not.
So, I'm just going to pay it to get them off my back but obviously I don't like it.
The team at the IRS (US Tax Agency) who made the free direct file website (which was subsequently DOGE'd) did open source the majority of the website:
https://github.com/IRS-Public/direct-file?tab=readme-ov-file
I'd love to see a foundation fund a developer, an accountant, and a lawyer to fork the repo and create a supported and free version of this.
There has _got_ to be a 501 foundation that would consider funding this and hosting costs....
EDIT: The IRS APIs to file may not exist anymore though
