The IRS makes it easier to respond!
I hope most of you have not been bamboozled by the GOP claims that the new funds we (that means the budget) have provided the IRS have only on purpose.

Planned Tax Rule Changes
So, a bunch of you ganged up on me. Claiming that my piece about the Omnibus bill wasn’t complete. (Of course, it wasn’t complete- I only was discussing the changes being made that affect taxes and health care. But, you thought I omitted some tax changes. I didn’t.)
