Hello Internet family. I'm gonna tell you about a quick situation going on in my life. I received a love letter from the IRS dated February 14th and this letter essentially says that I'm being audited. It reads Dear Taxpayer. We received your income tax return and we are verifying its accuracy. We have selected your return to verify it one or more of the following you may have reported. Income income tax withholding tax credits and business income. It says it'll contact me if they have any questions and the other thing that it says is that it could take up to 60 days to complete this review. So just to give you a little bit of background on my personal tax situation I filed my return about two and a half weeks ago and while most people as it states on the IRS website it takes maybe 21 days if it's really simple and there's no questions because I claim the earned income credit and the child tax credit because I do have a child that lives of me full time and has for several years and has been claimed for several years I expect to have the four-week window so I never get my taxes quickly and I expect that every year. Now what I don't expect from our government is to receive a letter that two and a half weeks in that says that they're gonna make me wait in additional 60 days and my taxes are very simple I've had the same job for the last five years and in the summer I changed jobs to another company so I had two incomes last year I don't have any kind of investments I take the standard deduction I don't have any kind of business income as they claim so I think it's kind of unfortunate that someone that could be really depending on this someone that has a child or is getting the earned income credit already has to wait the four-week verification period which is no big deal that that's to verify who's on your return that's great but to have to wait for an audit like this and then once you go online you look around a little bit at what the news agencies are reporting last year and about October of 2019 they state that last year there were 380,000 audits of taxpayers who claimed the earned income tax credit accounting for 39% of the total audits that the IRS conducts so I think what's surprising to me is that my tax is a very clean I take all the standard deductions you know I use a software that prepares the tax return for me and then I file electronically so it's asking me all the questions it's one of the big name tax software so they know what they're doing and while I have thank goodness a little bit of savings and I wasn't counting on it like some people are many people you know when they get their tax return especially lower income earners they're waiting to buy a vehicle or they're waiting to maybe buy a house or they're trying to pay their rent with this money and thank the Lord I'm not waiting you know he's been so good to me and I've got a little bit of savings but that's not the reality for a lot of Americans and we know that so for the IRS to be targeting people with earned income credit past the four-week verification period that's mandated I think they're taking it a little bit too far and honestly even if I did make a mistake on my taxes are they gonna make what ten dollars back or maybe they're gonna make me an extra ten dollars back you know or whatever it's gonna be such a minuscule amount for the staff time and staff hours spent at the IRS even to do a simple run-through of my return and imagine the 39% the 380,000 audits that are probably very similar to mine which are just good Americans going in and just entering you know numbers using standard deductions you know not trying to be fraudulent with the IRS so I just wanted to express my opinion and if anybody else is going through the same thing please you know leave a comment below let me know what you're going through and your situation and I can imagine there's a lot of people that are in a much worse situation who are really counting on this money so is it really worth it? You know are you really gonna make money off of us IRS? You've already done your verification so why is there an additional 60-day period promised now? So thanks so much everybody God bless you and just know that Jesus loves you and he's been there for me through this whole thing I lost my job in December and like I said I've got a little bit of savings but a lot of people aren't in that same situation and I know that I'm never alone so if you don't know Jesus I encourage you to develop a relationship with him thanks so much take care God bless
