The Internal Revenue Service has been under fire for delays and millions of backlogged returns, but now lawmakers are raising the alarm after the federal agency “destroyed” millions of Americans’ tax documents.
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig this week asking for answers about why these records were destroyed.
“The intentional decision to destroy these documents – which the IRS would need to ensure taxpayers are accurately reporting their income – was based in part on the IRS’s continued inability to process backlogs of paper-filed tax returns…’” the letter said, referring to an inspector general report and the IRS’ millions of unprocessed tax returns.
The letter comes after the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration released an audit in May reporting that the IRS destroyed 30 million “paper-filed information return documents.” Experts said this will make it harder for the IRS to check if future returns are accurate and to conduct audits. more
The incompetence is absolutely radiant.
Maybe they’re not biden fans.
Maybe they are protecting the questionable returns of 30 million of the regimes’ favorite toadies.
Where are the rolling heads???
No way does the Biden Klown Kar have 30 million toadies to favor. No, the simple explanation is that the IRS is a bunch of incompetent boobies, with federal tenure and lush retirement benefits
Intentional. ‘See how bad we are, we need $79B more money…’
When you place enforcement folks in regular processing there is a clear deal every night
Would read better if deal=desk
“IRS destroyed 30 million tax filing documents, lawmakers demand answers”
Lawmakers: WE DEMAND ANSWERES!
IRS: No.
…and nothing further is heard or seen or done about it ever again.
Hope some of mine were in there.
I wonder how many were Democrats.
Only 51 million to go…
“… “destroyed” millions of Americans’ tax documents.”
Probably not. No “Americans” documents were involved. Most likely, illegal-alien invading rat-people, Wall St. maggots, Madison Ave. perverts, corrupt politicians (a redundancy), the FBI, the Demonrat leadership, the RINO leadership, the welfare maggots, the moslems, and the Union bosses.
That’s probably 30 million.
The IRS is a corruption and a scourge – America should never have passed the 16th.

Maybe if they had spent less time over the past 6 years scrutinizing Donald Trump’s lifetime of tax returns looking for any irregularity, they would had had the resources to review those 30 million returns ?
Now they have a built-in excuse for not pursuing any democrat caught in a scandal. For example, Hunter Biden.
Don’t attribute to incompetence what can be attributed to corruption.
We had to file paper because the goddamn IRS wouldn’t accept the electronic upload. What’s going on here is a selective destruction of documents proving people paid their taxes in order to set them up for arbitrary confiscation of their assets down the road for “non-payment” of taxes. The IRS did cash our tax payment check though, those fucking cocksuckers.
I’ve heard the IRS is just fine with people (Foreign invaders), using stolen SS numbers because those people never file so no cash return. It’s a win in their world.
So maybe that what got tossed?
While Al Sharpton says a fervent prayer that his was one of them…
