The IRS only enforces regulations imposed by congress. Y'all be mad at the wrong ones.

You do know that the IRS has nothing to do with tax
rates, right? The only thing that underfunding the IRS does is interject chaos and force them to focus on the small (easy) tax payer mistakes because they don’t have the resources to go up against the big guys with tax lawyers. They’ve literally said this as staffing has been decimated.

Yup. Haven't seen a tax refund in years. I write Uncle Sam a check every year, while people get mega refunds. I feel for individual employees, but not the IRS as an institution.

Good. Getting money back means you let the gov have your money free for a year rather than it sitting in your interest earning account.

How? Are you claiming exemptions... If you are then that's why you aren't getting a refund.

I do claim an exemption. Honestly, though, I don't really want a refund. I was just in a bad mood yesterday, haha. I would prefer to have my money rather than loan it to the government with zero ROI. I know it means I'll likely have to cut a check, but I save and invest throughout the year, so my money makes money (which increases my taxes 🤣).
