Did President Biden’s IRS violate the Constitution?

Navigating the labyrinth that is the U.S. tax code can already feel like a punishment for ordinary taxpayers. Friend, Navigating the labyrinth that is the U.S. tax code can already feel like a punishment for ordinary taxpayers. But the real punishment comes when Americans face oppressive penalties from the Internal Revenue Service for innocent filing mistakes. Fortunately, this may be about to change. The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments for Bittner v. U.S., a case of a $2.72 million fine for a taxpayer’s non-willful, unintentional error. This could be a landmark case, Friend, and could ease excessive punitive measures from the IRS for all Americans. My name is Pete Sepp, President of the National Taxpayers Union Foundation (NTUF). NTUF provides crucial, impactful research that shows Americans how taxes, government spending, and regulations affect them and guides policymakers as they overhaul the tax code. I’ve set a goal to raise $15,000 this week to keep other Americans from being taken advantage of by our Federal government.

Depending on how the court rules, Bittner could face either a $50,000 or a $2.72 MILLION penalty. For almost any American, these fines are e devastating and life-altering. Since 1969, NTU has proudly been a major player in signature taxpayer victories of the past five decades: We helped overhaul the federal tax code under President Reagan in 1986. We championed the cause for a “Taxpayer Bill of Rights” in the late 80s and 90s and with follow-on legislation, the 2019 Taxpayer First Act. In 2017, NTU was the driving force behind the successful push for comprehensive tax reform. In 2020, NTUF launched the Taxpayer Defense Center to fight for taxpayers in court. TDC has already helped to hand the IRS a major defeat in the Supreme Court. Can I count on you to donate today and help us hold the IRS accountable?

As a watchdog for the powerful Congressional Budget Office’s processes, scoring, and transparency, TBO seeks to expose the true budgetary impact of legislation in Congress. - Interstate Commerce Initiative (ICI): Confronts one of the most important and underreported issues facing taxpayers across the country — states reaching beyond their borders to tax and regulate the interstate economy. ICI fights taxation without representation by researching overlapping state policies and highlighting solutions. - Free Trade Initiative (FTI): Leads support for free trade and opposition to schemes that protect a few at the expense of everyone else. America is stronger when it leads the world in tearing down unfair trade barriers. - Taxpayer Defense Center (TDC): Pursues strategic litigation to protect taxpayers from overzealous, unfair tax administration. From millions of tax disputes each year, we identify and engage in those most likely to have a positive and lasting impact on taxpayers’ rights.
