I.R.S. Limited Tax Refunds of Poor

I.R.S. Limited Tax Refunds of Poor, Congress Is Told
By DAVID CAY JOHNSTON

Tax refunds sought by hundreds of thousands of poor Americans have been frozen and their returns labeled fraudulent, blocking refunds for years to come, the Internal Revenue Service's taxpayer advocate told Congress today.

The taxpayers, whose average income was $13,000, were not told that they were suspected of fraud, the advocate said in her annual report to Congress. The advocate, Nina Olson, said her staff sampled suspected returns and found that, at most, one in five was questionable.

2. Why does this surprise anyone, * said he would do this.
Pukes will use this to try to squash EIC, witch they despise with a burning passion.
