The IRS \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free\">Free File program\u003c/a> is intended to help people who make less than $66,000 a year file their taxes for free using commercial services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that program — and the consortium of tax-prep software companies that take part in it — is under scrutiny after reporting from ProPublica found that the companies make the free options difficult to find and instead funnel eligible taxpayers toward profit-generating options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LA City Attorney Mike Feuer filed the civil complaints on Monday against \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5990517/2019-05-06-Complaint-Intuit-Clean.pdf\">Intuit \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5990518/H-R-Block-Complaint-Clean.pdf\">H&R Block\u003c/a> on behalf of the people of California. In the filings, Feuer writes that for years, the companies have been “actively undermining public access to the IRS’s ‘Free File’ program, while simultaneously employing deceptive and misleading advertising and design schemes intended to induce taxpayers” into buying expensive TurboTax and H&R Block products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Free File program went into effect in 2003. A consortium of tax-prep companies formed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/free-file-online-tax-preparation-fees-intuit-turbotax-h-r-block\">Free File Alliance\u003c/a> and agreed to offer no-charge tax prep to millions of Americans. In exchange, the IRS \u003ca href=\"https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/2002-free-online-electronic-tax-filing-agreement.pdf\">promised \u003c/a>it wouldn’t offer its own free filing software. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only about 3% of taxpayers eligible for Free File are using it — resulting in Americans paying an estimated $1 billion a year in unnecessary fees to the tax-prep companies, by ProPublica’s calculations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ProPublica found that tax-prep companies used a range of tactics to lead low- and moderate-income people into paying to file taxes. For example, reporters discovered that Intuit \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/turbotax-deliberately-hides-its-free-file-page-from-search-engines\">used a bit of code\u003c/a> to hide the free version of TurboTax from Google and other search engines. The products are also confusingly named: the “Free Edition” of TurboTax actually charges a fee to file state forms, while the truly no-cost version is named “Freedom Edition” and isn’t listed on its homepage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-turbotax-lawsuit-20190506-story.html\">Los Angeles Times\u003c/a>, Intuit said that it stands behind its actions and that “[a]ny suggestion that Intuit does not support the IRS Free File Program is flat wrong.” H&R Block told the \u003cem>Times \u003c/em>it was “proud to have helped millions of Americans file their returns under the Free File program” and has updated its practices to make Free File easier to find. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feuer, the LA city attorney, compared the behavior of the tax-prep companies to Wells Fargo, the bank he sued in 2015 over \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/series/508986161/investigating-the-wells-fargo-scandal\">its deceptive practices\u003c/a>. “That was a major corporation taking advantage of the consumer,” he told the \u003cem>Times\u003c/em>. “There are some parallels.

When Republicans took control of the House in 2010, they began pushing for deep cuts in the agency’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know that when we were in the majority, that we took great pleasure in cutting the amount of money that was going to the IRS every year,” Rep. Dave Joyce, R-Ohio, said last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The IRS made an easy target. The agency was the enforcer of the Affordable Care Act, which Republicans despise.

And even in the best of times, people don’t have warm and fuzzy feelings about the tax collector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s always a concern among Americans that you have the jack-booted thugs coming in to your business or office or home and auditing away,” said Mark Mazur, who was assistant Treasury secretary for tax policy in the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, both the criticism and the budget cuts have taken a toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morale at the agency is down, experienced agents are heading for the exits, and less than 3 percent of the IRS workforce is under 30, said Tony Reardon, national president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents IRS workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The IRS has essentially lost an entire generation of employees,” he said. “When you look at pay freezes, retirement cuts, government shutdowns, it makes it incredibly difficult to recruit and retain new talent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the IRS cutting back sharply on tax enforcement, the federal government is leaving money it’s owed by taxpayers on the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of individual audits fell 42 percent between 2010 and 2017, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-irs-was-gutted\">ProPublica\u003c/a>. During that time, IRS scrutiny of taxpayers making more than $500,000 dropped more sharply than its audits of those making under $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This clearly indicates a policy shift of some sort — cracking down on people who have little and going easier on people who are doing very, very well,” Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., complained during a congressional hearing last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after nearly a decade of cutting, the Trump administration is calling for a course correction. President Trump has suggested side-stepping budget caps to spend an extra $362 million on tax enforcement next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new IRS commissioner, Charles Rettig, argued that additional spending is necessary to reassure Americans that tax cheats stand a good chance of getting caught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Personally, I have both eyes focused on enforcement,” he told lawmakers last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rettig notes the vast majority of Americans — 83 percent — already pay the taxes they owe voluntarily. But if a more visible cop on the beat could boost compliance by just 1 percentage point, that would mean an extra $30 billion a year in revenue for the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, government revenues could take an equally big hit if the lack of enforcement triggers even a small drop in Americans’ willingness to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Americans don’t really want to feel like chumps,” said Mazur, who now directs the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. “They want to make sure like everybody is paying their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

When Republicans took control of the House in 2010, they began pushing for deep cuts in the agency’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know that when we were in the majority, that we took great pleasure in cutting the amount of money that was going to the IRS every year,” Rep. Dave Joyce, R-Ohio, said last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The IRS made an easy target. The agency was the enforcer of the Affordable Care Act, which Republicans despise. There were \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/10/27/560308997/irs-apologizes-for-aggressive-scrutiny-of-conservative-groups\">charges the IRS unfairly penalized conservative groups\u003c/a> that tried to apply for tax-exempt status. And even in the best of times, people don’t have warm and fuzzy feelings about the tax collector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s always a concern among Americans that you have the jack-booted thugs coming in to your business or office or home and auditing away,” said Mark Mazur, who was assistant Treasury secretary for tax policy in the Obama administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over time, both the criticism and the budget cuts have taken a toll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morale at the agency is down, experienced agents are heading for the exits, and less than 3 percent of the IRS workforce is under 30, said Tony Reardon, national president of the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents IRS workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The IRS has essentially lost an entire generation of employees,” he said. “When you look at pay freezes, retirement cuts, government shutdowns, it makes it incredibly difficult to recruit and retain new talent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the IRS cutting back sharply on tax enforcement, the federal government is leaving money it’s owed by taxpayers on the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of individual audits fell 42 percent between 2010 and 2017, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-irs-was-gutted\">ProPublica\u003c/a>. During that time, IRS scrutiny of taxpayers making more than $500,000 dropped more sharply than its audits of those making under $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This clearly indicates a policy shift of some sort — cracking down on people who have little and going easier on people who are doing very, very well,” Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., complained during a congressional hearing last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after nearly a decade of cutting, the Trump administration is calling for a course correction. President Trump has suggested side-stepping budget caps to spend an extra $362 million on tax enforcement next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new IRS commissioner, Charles Rettig, argued that additional spending is necessary to reassure Americans that tax cheats stand a good chance of getting caught.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Personally, I have both eyes focused on enforcement,” he told lawmakers last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rettig notes the vast majority of Americans — 83 percent — already pay the taxes they owe voluntarily. But if a more visible cop on the beat could boost compliance by just 1 percentage point, that would mean an extra $30 billion a year in revenue for the government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, government revenues could take an equally big hit if the lack of enforcement triggers even a small drop in Americans’ willingness to pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Americans don’t really want to feel like chumps,” said Mazur, who now directs the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. “They want to make sure like everybody is paying their fair share.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

The Inglewood couple, who last year paid $16,000 in state and local taxes, were only able to deduct $10,000 of it from their federal taxes this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — signed last year by President Trump and cheered by Republicans in Congress — cost the Jarvis family between $4,500 and $5,000 in deductions, raising their bill from the Internal Revenue Service even after a larger child tax credit for their 15-month-old son, Kellar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right']'As the Golden State’s first Tax Day without the old SALT break approaches, that dear, departed deduction has been Topic A in California.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The financial hit came with political bruises for Jarvis, a 45-year-old Democrat who disliked how the Republican plan slashed taxes for corporations and people making a lot more than he does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The federal government really jacked us,” he said. “I don’t have a problem with my tax dollars going toward education, homelessness, I’m in favor of all that. But a tax cut for billionaires off my back? That’s too much.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While millions of California families saw their federal taxes fall this tax season, the Jarvis family is among an estimated \u003ca href=\"https://www.ftb.ca.gov/law/legis/Federal-Tax-Changes/CAPreliminaryReport3Provisions-Revise.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">1 million households\u003c/a> who are paying more — actually some $12 billion more, according to the Franchise Tax Board. That’s because the cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions disproportionately impacted progressive states with high taxes by limiting the amount residents used to be able to deduct from their federal filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, as the Golden State’s first Tax Day without the old SALT break approaches, that dear, departed deduction has been Topic A in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As taxpayers are filing their returns this month, many of them are discovering the bite the federally imposed SALT cap is taking out of their wallet,” state Controller Betty Yee, a Democrat, noted.

Eleni Kounalakis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just scandalous that the Trump administration did away with our SALT deduction,” Kounalakis declared to a round of hearty applause from the Capitol audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='CALmatters Explains' link1='https://calmatters.org/articles/the-open-secret-about-california-taxes/?utm_source=explainer&utm_medium=promo-embed&utm_campaign=taxes,The Open Secrets About California Taxes: Read More About How Taxes in the Golden State Work']\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who Took the SALT Hit\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California ranks 10th in overall taxation and has the highest personal income tax rate at 13.3 percent for millionaires.

Last year, the Pew Research Center pinpointed the middle of the middle class as \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/06/the-american-middle-class-is-stable-in-size-but-losing-ground-financially-to-upper-income-families/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$78,442\u003c/a> for a household of three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, Jarvis and his wife, Jun, a buyer for a tool importing company, made a combined $125,000 last year. They have an 800-square-foot home in Inglewood to be close to Jarvis’ work at Loyola Marymount University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they are on a budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tax changes hurt us,” said Jarvis. “Between mortgage, child care, paying off student loans, the credit cards. Look, there’s plenty of people in this state who are way worse off than we are, but that money mattered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, many families who purchased homes in recent years say they factored the tax deductions into their monthly finances. Darrel Lawrence, 43, and his wife rolled all the equity they gained on a two-bedroom starter home in Poway that they bought for $315,000 in 2011 into a $750,000 home four years later in an unincorporated part of San Diego County once their daughter arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted something a little newer and nicer so we rolled everything into a bigger house knowing it would be a big mortgage payment but the interest was all deductible,” said the technology worker. “We had property taxes and Mello Roos (fees) but that was all deductible. ... I always assumed that it would be grandfathered in. I just never thought they would change the rules on us when everybody budgets for this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence, a Democrat, said he places blame squarely on Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing that drives me bananas about this is not only did my tax bill go up $2,000, services are getting slashed and the federal deficit is exploding,” he said. “It just feels like there’s this incredible graft going on where you’re taking more money from me. You’re giving it away to these really wealthy people and you’re increasing the debt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where the Votes Are\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Californians could be voting their pocketbooks on this issue. Polling data suggested the $10,000 SALT deduction along with the $750,000 cap on mortgage interest deduction \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/19/us/politics/trump-tax-cut-republican.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">factored\u003c/a> into Republican losses when Democrats swept all seven U.S. House seats in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then again, a state with 18.5 million personal income tax returns, each household has a different experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='left' citation='Retired Cal Fire Capt.

Last year, the Pew Research Center pinpointed the middle of the middle class as \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/09/06/the-american-middle-class-is-stable-in-size-but-losing-ground-financially-to-upper-income-families/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$78,442\u003c/a> for a household of three.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, Jarvis and his wife, Jun, a buyer for a tool importing company, made a combined $125,000 last year. They have an 800-square-foot home in Inglewood to be close to Jarvis’ work at Loyola Marymount University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, they are on a budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tax changes hurt us,” said Jarvis. “Between mortgage, child care, paying off student loans, the credit cards. Look, there’s plenty of people in this state who are way worse off than we are, but that money mattered.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, many families who purchased homes in recent years say they factored the tax deductions into their monthly finances. Darrel Lawrence, 43, and his wife rolled all the equity they gained on a two-bedroom starter home in Poway that they bought for $315,000 in 2011 into a $750,000 home four years later in an unincorporated part of San Diego County once their daughter arrived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted something a little newer and nicer so we rolled everything into a bigger house knowing it would be a big mortgage payment but the interest was all deductible,” said the technology worker. “We had property taxes and Mello Roos (fees) but that was all deductible. ... I always assumed that it would be grandfathered in. I just never thought they would change the rules on us when everybody budgets for this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawrence, a Democrat, said he places blame squarely on Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing that drives me bananas about this is not only did my tax bill go up $2,000, services are getting slashed and the federal deficit is exploding,” he said. “It just feels like there’s this incredible graft going on where you’re taking more money from me. You’re giving it away to these really wealthy people and you’re increasing the debt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Where the Votes Are\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Californians could be voting their pocketbooks on this issue. Polling data suggested the $10,000 SALT deduction along with the $750,000 cap on mortgage interest deduction \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/19/us/politics/trump-tax-cut-republican.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">factored\u003c/a> into Republican losses when Democrats swept all seven U.S. House seats in Orange County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then again, a state with 18.5 million personal income tax returns, each household has a different experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
