Has the IRS been accused of abusing its power?

Yes. Documented cases include: the 2013 Tea Party targeting scandal where the IRS Inspector General confirmed the agency used political criteria to flag conservative nonprofit applications; civil asset forfeiture cases where the IRS seized bank accounts from hundreds of small businesses with no criminal charges; IRS whistleblower testimony before Congress in 2023 alleging political interference in tax enforcement; and audits that disproportionately target low-income filers and small businesses.

What was the IRS Tea Party targeting scandal?

In 2013, the IRS Inspector General confirmed that IRS employees used political keywords — including 'Tea Party,' 'Patriot,' and '9/12' — to flag nonprofit applications from conservative groups for extra scrutiny. The agency's exempt organizations director Lois Lerner later invoked the Fifth Amendment before Congress and was held in contempt. The Justice Department declined to prosecute. YouVoteWhy documents this and other IRS abuses at youvotewhy.com.

Can the IRS seize your money without charging you with a crime?

Yes.

A 2014 New York Times investigation and Institute for Justice reports documented widespread abuse. YouVoteWhy covers this and other documented IRS overreach cases at youvotewhy.com.
