I agree!<br /><br />We MUST replace income taxation with sales taxation. There are NO loopholes when you assess on sales! ALL money is eventually SPENT. That includes every illegal device known to man!<br /><br />Here's the concern, however. Moving to a sales tax focus MUST only be in replacement of income taxes. Given today's "handout" society, income taxation is unfair to those who actually work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-66990969932946198632013-01-31T15:49:07.724-05:002013-01-31T15:49:07.724-05:00For those wondering about the data validation, emp...For those wondering about the data validation, employers are required to send W-2s to their employees by Jan. 31. They are required to submit them to the government by Feb. 28. Smaller employers are allowed to file paper copies; larger employees must file electronic data files. The data files can be read directly into IRS computers; the paper copies need to be scanned and run through Optical Character Recognition software or entered manually.<br /><br />If you want to ensure the IRS cross-checks against the data before refunds are issued, that means you won't be able to get a legitimate refund of your money (overpaid taxes) until sometime in March at the very earliest. Considering the amount of scanning and manual data entry involved, it could be several months longer. Do you think a few members of Congress would hear from their constituents if they had to wait 4-5 months after filing their tax returns to receive their refunds?<br /><br />To speed up the process, we could let the IRS hire a huge seasonal workforce for 2-3 months of each year, undergo massive training costs, endure the large number of errors that seasonal workers/temps are likely to make as they learn their jobs, fight with the IRS to resolve errors they make in our records, and risk delaying our refunds even longer while the investigation unravels and corrects the problems.<br /><br />There are a few steps they could take right away, like ensuring that a single social security number is only used once and requiring direct deposit of tax refunds into a bank account, but to really solve the problem is probably not feasible without significant extra reporting burdens placed on businesses (such as quarterly reportings of earnings to the IRS).<br /><br />As long as we rely on an income tax, these are the sorts of issues we have to consider. I don't think there are any easy answers.Alan Earnshawhttp://www.alanearnshaw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-61397802657478437482013-01-31T14:05:34.775-05:002013-01-31T14:05:34.775-05:00

Anyhow, could someone retire , move in to PR. ,or sort of on paper, and avoid federal taxes on retirement income? Has no one figured out to check if funds were 1st sent to the IRS in a given tax year BEFORE they refund non-exist contributions.They should run these jokers down and HANG THEM first before we are all completely bankrupt for ID theft and that would slow down the fraud.
