believe it or not this postcard is much more popular than the irs code as it exists. people are intrigued by it, i can't say that they read every line of it and make calculations in their head on the spot, but the biggest question i do get in my current district about this postcard is, can i fill the postcard out if i file the alternative minimum tax? and i say, there's not going to be in our plan, there's not going to be an alternative minimum tax. so for a great percentage of people in my district, probably the most frustrating part of the tax code is the fact that they have to figure their taxes twice. they figure the first go around and then they have to go through it again to see if they all this other tax. what kind of affect does that have on taxpayers when they physically usually cannot fill it out simply for that reason. >> congressman, i have always been in opposition to the alternative minimum tax created me no sense, as architects policy and in the end have to continue to be in place without change it would have generated more income tax revenue than the re

36% of the income that irs and income 71% of the tax collected. they represent about 47% of income reportross ed. incometom 50% of the totals pay 2.75% of the collected.ome tax that seems pretty progressive to me. disparity between how much you are making versus in.entage that you pay in, more thaning -- if paying in more than a of your incomege than people in other lower notgories, which may or hay be fair. i'm not going to address that in discussion. i think that at some point you the bottom 50% of the wage earners who are pay 2.75% of the total collected and tax somehow they can ante up something.% or >> got your point. >> the irs is different than the talkingistics we were about. they generally show a similar trend. our system is progressive. decisiono make a really as a country during this tax reform debate how progress progressive enough? right now again if you look at like cbo didtaxes, , the person in the top 1% statistics pays about 11 times more on every household income than someone in the bottom fifth does indisputable. there are indiv

under funding the irs is like under funding your accounts receivable. ational business would do that. >> that's a great line. i'm going to use it. >> it's not copyrighted. the numbers show that if the irs gets an extra $1,000, they will bring back an extra $4,000 or $5,000 in revenue. it pays for itself and then some. >> thanks. anyone else? pile on. go ahead. >> the irs, of course, as we all know collects revenues that are needed to fund our government. it's very important that the irs have the capability both in services and enforcement to collect revenues called for bit law in a fair and efficient manner. >> others. >> i agree with all of that. i'm thinking back to -- this involved a credit card company that senator portman used to tell stories about when he was part of the irs restructuring commission or the group that looked at restructuring the irs. the service that you expect. american express doesn't come back two years later and say, about that bill. we need to fund the irs to make sure that they have the technology that they need and to make su

over the past few years, the irs has audited allocating agencies seven times. even when these audits were conducted, they often yielded multiple findings including agency policies which conflict with the code of regulatory regulations -- with federal regulations. we have some thoughts on how to strengthen oversight and accountability in the program. first, with respect to noncompliant reporting, we make that the irsns -- clarified when agencies should report noncompliance and evaluate how it could improve on this compliance information by levying physical inspection data systems. these recommendations remained open -- remain open. when it comes to data quality, we address that the irs should address reliable data based off of credit allocations. the irs has not completed this recommendation, but they are taking steps to improve it. finally, we continue to believe the irs -- i'm sorry, we continue to believe that the department of housing and urban development can be a resource to augment the irs's capabilities. other tax credit programs have formal partnerships

but the ig says the irs is refusing to require people to have a social security number to collect theitional child tax credit. the ig says that gives an incentive for widespread fraud. in 2001, people without social security numbers collected $62 million in additional child tax credit refunds. in 2005, that number jumped to $924 million. in 2015, it reached $3.4 billion. at a recent hearing, irs commissioner john koskinen told congress the agency is cracking down on all kinds of fraud. comm. koskinen: the new requirement to hold earned income tax credit, child tax credit returns, and another change enacted by congress to accelerate the filing date of forms w2, together have helped the irs spot incorrect or fraudulent returns. sharyl: this week, chairman of the homeland security committee ron johnson sent a letter asking the treasury department "review the irs's refusal to prevent fraudulent overpayme next week, an update on our investigation into a baffling illness responsible for nightmarish scenarios. the disease mimics one of the world's most feared illnesses, polio. millions of pe

we do propose to buff up the up the irs and redesign it into the 21st century with a singular mission, customer service. i'm hopeful that with the leadership on the way and means committee outreach that we've done with our democrat colleges as well, this is another area where we can explore bipartisan support. make sure the i.r.s. is working for our families and not against. are there those who haven't asked the question? reporter: [indiscernible] he quoted someone, i can't remember who it was. taxation without representation. i was wondering what your take was on that? tax is the the death most unamerican tax in this horribly bloated code. you thought you work your whole life to build up a nest egg, then you pass away intrafamily -- and your family, uncle sam can swoop in and take over 40% of everything you've earned over a certain amount. it's just wrong. it is still the number one reason our family-owned n'tinesses and farms are passed down. fast why, permanently repealing -- that is why permanently repealing death tax is in the house republican blueprint. it continues to be a key

he is not doing what he needs to do as the irs commissioner. ese jobs? >> i can't imagine that there is no one else who can work at the irs who did not -- who haven't committed crimes, including theft, falsifying documents, other egregious and irresponsible activity. it's completely wrong. if we file improper paperwork or falsify documents to the irs, we are going to go to jail. we don't need people who have done that working at the irs. todd: talking about your own personal financial documents, this is an insight into your financial soul. also, social security numbers, a number of data points that you don't want freely out there in society if these individuals are entrusted with your information and 213 of them doing this. >> yeah. this is -- the irs is a very intimidating agency because they have so much power and authority. now, whether we like theist thet whether we like the way the tax system is set up, there has to be a level of trust when an agency has that much authority between the people it's collecting the money from and right now it'

guest: the irs statistics are different from the cbo statistics. they show a similar trend. our system is progressive. as aed to make a decision, country during this tax reform debate, how progressive is enough? if you look at all types of taxes like the cbo did, the person in the top 1% pace 11 times more on every dollar of household income that someone in the bottom 5th does. it is disputable. individual situations will be markedly different. they wanted to be a difference of 20-1, 30-1? guest: i understand why you about it this way. the caller is missing the point. one of us haven't internal compass on 11-1 is the right haver -- one of us do not an internal congress on if 11-one is the right number. -1 is the right number. top is the higher -- is higher than decades. visible how much the richer are doing well in this country. for not mean punishing them the rich. we made this comparison about the tax rates we charge. compared to countries, they are not high. host: you're talking with the individual? guest: yes, the individual household. we have a progressive tax code beca

past 30 years the irs is on its allocating agencies seven times. even when these audits were conducted they also yielded multiple findings including agency policies that conflicted with the code or treasury regulation incomplete or outdated qualified application plans annual reports to irs with errors and so on. we have some thoughts on how to strengthen oversight and accountability in the light tech program. first with respect to noncompliance we made two recommendations to irs clarified when agencies should report noncompliance and evaluate how it can improve on compliance information by leveraging the physical inspection data system. these recommendations remain open. second in response to our concern about data quality who recommended the irs stress reduces and control on credit allocations. iris did not complete its implementation of this recommendation but has taken steps to improve and family and more significantly we continue to believe the irs, continued believe that hud a department of housing and urban development can be a resource to aug

is probably one of the biggest loch ness monsters here in the swamp, is getting the irs off the yokes of many american taxpayers. because they live in fear of not complying properly, so they spend all this money and all this time doing that. simplifying also means getting rid of these loopholes and these stops to special interests and swamp dwellers. because frankly, the current tax code benefits many of the wealthy, because they can afford attorneys and accountants and lobbyists to help them pay next to nothing or nothing in taxes. >> that's right. >> so let's get rid of a lot of those loopholes and a lot of those special interest sops, if you will. the other thing that we're going to do is make our country more competitive and repatriate so many of these funds. we have so much wealth parked in other countries because we have made it prohibitive -- and companies are doing that literally -- we've made it prohibitive for them to retain and reinvest their profits and their money into our own country. we want to bring back jobs, including manufacturing jobs and bring back that wealth tha
