A couple pretty bad personal experiences here, I'm glad to have missed that mess.  When it rains ...

These days, I do my best to keep our tax situation as simple as possible, which is not that simple.  I've had some 60 page returns over the past few years.

I had to fill out a Schedule S way back when my then wife bought a business.  Holy cow that was awful.

And her "records" were shall we say, a mess.

The sad thing is a lot of us agree on a lot of things, but politics has become about fighting for certain issues that actually don't impact many people.  Yet everyone across the aisle has issues with certain things that get no oxygen in the national debate.

I will second badge, that your US rep actually has a ton of sway, and nobody thinks to ask them after they are elected based on their stance on abortion or trans kids or something that they have little impact on, and doesn't impact most of their constituents.  But there are certain areas where they can get a ton of actual meaningful shit done

It’s also interesting to note that I’m the personal experience of folks, when the government turns it investigative eyes on you, it at times doesn’t seem to matter if you did it.

Just a thing to keep in mind for anyone the government goes after

I truly appreciate you guys posting. It was so ironic to see this topic. I've been in an IRS audit for 7 months. It's been a complete and utter nightmare. At this point, it feels like harassment to me and my family. The reason for their audit is because from 2021 to 2022 my income dropped too much that I must have been hiding income in my business. It didn't matter that I had medical records starting in July showing i completely stopped working and needed extensive brain surgery and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that if someone isn't really running a business, it isn't really going to make similar money compared to years past.

Up to this point, I have not gotten legal counsel because we have nothing to hide and did not hide money, but we are getting close. Their most recent request was that a business event that I paid for, I need to go and get letters from other business that attended on their company letterhead stating they attended. An absurd request and going through the process, no matter how honest you are is embarrassing to admit on so many levels.. To add to the mess, we had our identity stolen in 2023 where our checking account was drained so we had to shut it down and open a new one and our bank has told us because of the circumstances, they no longer can get copies of canceled checks and some other information because their system only archives for 2 years.. awesome. almost like the banks do this to help the IRS.

I've already prepped my wife that we are going to have money squeezed away from us because that is their entire intention. They hired 87,000 agents to put pressure on the middle class individuals that make decent money and they're going to squeeze every dime out of us they can.  There's a lot of additional details that make this even worse, but being someone in my situation that has still been trying to get past such a major health issue, while get back to running a business i didn't touch for 6 months and raise 3 young children after my wife had to keep it all together for a long 2 years has been awful. And then end result will be cutting some sort of check with absurd late fees and penalties that are completely not deserved.
I don’t know a lot about a lot, but I know that having “nothing to hide” Is often a poor reason that people do not get representation.

Maybe the government sometimes “wants to clear things up,” but in a lot of cases, the process is a punishment, and having someone who knows the right moments to tell them to F off is usually not a bad thing.

I've been F'd around by the IRS enough. I would not bet on them to not mess with me again. They are 0-4 against me. They need a win. They are desperate. And they will be 0-5 if they try again.

I reached the point a while back that I would not speak to the FBI without a lawyer present.  Having nothing to hide and trying to help can get one into trouble.

I've been listed as a reference twice on folks who applied to he FBI and they called me about it.  I hope never to have any further interaction with any alphabet agency.

Back in the day, I had some with OSHA, the EPA, and the PTO, a lot with the latter.

  I agree only with the local constable, a kid told me he knew who stole some computers/vandalized the local High School. So I told the Cops,well they go hard after the kid as he already named names and wanted him to stand up in Juvenile court and say it. Turns out I'm very good friends with the kid's uncle Scott - to this day. I let him know and he told the cops the kid gave them everything he could, so they should start twisting the punks arms for info.

  Scott further told them they couldn't guarantee his nephew would not get smacked around or roughed up by fingering them publicly- it's not the hood but that's just what kids do when you're outed as a rat or at least they try rattling cages. Anyway a couple of the culprits rolled over during questioning and basically told the cops enough but then they end up getting a slap on the wrist by the court. No guarantee Scott's nephew would have gotten the same

I had a friend who had a roommate list him as a reference for the FBI. The big Takeaway was that my friend realized he didn’t know a ton of things about his roommate, including what his roommate did for work (we were in college).

I had to talk to the feds about a college girlfriend when she applied.  Then they circled back both times she was up for a security upgrade.  In 2016 I was finally like, I havent even spoken to this person in nearly a decade, and they took me off her reference list

I've had a couple of engineering buddies who ended up at defense contractors and let me know I was on the reference list when they were being looked at for security clearances they were seeking, but I was never contacted.
