1) The need to remove Danny Werfel as IRS commissioner
2) To request that you do not pass the ERC repeal act of 2024 The need to remove Danny Werfel as commissioner of IRS The functioning of the IRS is worse than ever When Danny Werfel was nominated for the position, he promised to protect the small business owners from an onslaught of audits instead he has done the opposite. It is the consensus of tax professionals that the IRS is worse than ever before.
Danny Werfel has failed to administer the ERC per the Cares Act law Tax professionals advised the IRS repeatedly to create a fraud protection plan. Had Werfel done this, the fraud would have been detected early. Werfel failed to administer proper protocols and then when he did something four years too late, he claimed credit for finding the fraud and then went on the falsely claim that all the rest of the ERC was fraudulent. Danny Werfel claimed that 70-80% was fraudulent. He was called out by tax professionals who knew that the IRS did not have the data to make that claim.
The IRS has been holding refunds that are shown on their own transcripts as due to taxpayers for years. The IRS has had many lawsuits filed against it for non -payment of refunds. These lawsuits are all requesting the IRS to pay for the legal fees of the plaintiff. In addition to wasting taxpayer money on legal fees, the IRS will have to pay 8% interest per year for the refunds they held. The Cares act required the IRS to promote the ERC but instead they vilified it and put it on the dirty dozen of Taxpayer scams. Werfel effectively, without support of the law, stopped the ERC filings by implementing a moratorium, fearmongering and unsupported statements about fraud.
The IRS sent out ERC disallowance letters randomly. Some of these letters failed to include the right to appeal. The taxpayer is supposed to be notified of their right to appeal.
Danny Werfel has:
The ERTC repeal act of 2024 The ERC should be extended to allow filing for AT LEAST the additional amount of time that the process was held up in a moratorium. I have many clients waiting for these refunds and they are on the edge of bankruptcy. These are the small businesses that make up America. Please take the time to listen to your constituents and understand from the level of the everyday people. Instead of listening to the claims of Danny Werfel, ask the tax professionals for their opinion.
