The IRS fell behind in processing taxes, so its employees just deleted 30 million taxpayer documents.
An audit of the Internal Revenue Service found staffers destroyed 30 million taxpayer documents, as they faced a massive backlog.
"This audit was initiated because the IRS's continued inability to process backlogs of paper-filed tax returns contributed to management's decision to destroy an estimated 30 million paper-filed information return documents in March 2021," says the TIGTA report signed by Michael E. McKenney, the deputy inspector general for audit.
"The IRS uses these documents to conduct post-processing compliance matches to identify taxpayers who do not accurately report their income."
The audit report states that the IRS deleted 30 million documents, but this didn't impact any taxpayers.
President Joe Biden is asking for $80 billion to help the IRS crack down on tax avoidance from wealthy Americans and big corporations.
The IRS would potentially arrest you if you accidentally deleted a tax document, but the IRS can delete 30 million documents, and no big deal.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
