Where Do Tax Laws Come From?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s a kicker many folks miss: the IRS doesn’t create tax laws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s the job of Congress. The IRS simply enforces them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, when you\u2019re fuming about tax laws, remember your issue might be more with legislative decisions than with the IRS itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enforcement: Not as Personal as It Feels<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Yes, the IRS enforces tax laws, which means they collect what’s due, follow up on non-filings, and yes, they do audit. But here\u2019s the deal\u2014it\u2019s not personal. It\u2019s procedural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The IRS uses automated systems to flag discrepancies. If you\u2019re feeling targeted, it’s likely because something in your tax filings triggered a flag in their system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, Is the IRS Out to Get You?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Short answer: No. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are out to ensure compliance. If you\u2019re compliant, you\u2019re not on their radar for the wrong reasons. But if you owe back taxes or haven’t filed, it’s like waving a red flag saying, “Check me out.” That’s not them targeting you out of malice; that’s them doing their job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
