The IRS should serve Americans—not target them. That’s why the Alliance for IRS Accountability is proud to announce our Presumption of Rights Agenda: a blueprint to restore fairness, transparency, and accountability at the IRS.
For too long, taxpayers have been at the mercy of a politicized, overreaching agency. Our agenda puts power back where it belongs—with hardworking Americans.

TIGTA Report: Since 2021, federal employee tax delinquencies have surged 32%, now topping $6 billion. Public servants are paid by taxpayers — they don't get to skip out on being one.
The IRS must enforce the tax code evenly, without exception.

I was quoted in today’s @dcexaminer on the IRS agent facing termination for his own tax filing misconduct.
“He’s a rogue agent, very clearly doing his own thing.”
IRS agents must be held to the highest standards. That includes the agents themselves.
On Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck Flint breaks down two major tax issues from the latest poll: the growing debate over unrealized gains taxes and what he calls the unfair burden of proof placed on taxpayers in court.
Flint argues the system is backwards, especially when ordinary Americans have to fight the IRS from a position of “guilty until proven innocent.”

Americans want a transparent, service-oriented IRS — not a bigger, more invasive one. AIA’s recent polling shows taxpayers reject proposals to tax unrealized gains and want stronger accountability from the agency.
AIA’s @ChuckAFlint explains in @RealClearPolicy: https://t.co/t0D7n372iF
The government wants to tax money you haven’t made, on assets you haven’t sold, and hand the IRS $100 billion to collect it.
You can run, but you can’t hide. The bill includes a 40% exit tax. @WashTimes@WashTimesOpEd@FixTheIRS
63% of new IRS audits in 2023 targeted middle-class filers, not the ultra-wealthy.
Now Congress wants to hand the IRS $100 billion more and tax money you haven't even made yet.
"Congress must stop this now, before the enforcement structure is built and the IRS army is hired," says AIA CEO @ChuckAFlint.

Taxing unrealized gains is a direct attack on Bitcoin holders. You pay taxes on the highs—even if prices fall. That’s a forced liquidation system.
Bitcoin gives you an exit, but policy still matters. Engage.

59% of Americans reject taxing unrealized gains.
66% alarmed by IRS agents appraising their assets annually.
Taxing money you haven’t made on assets you haven’t sold.
It’s an IRS power grab.
Joining @Breaking_Battle to discuss. @FixTheIRS
From the great @ChuckAFlint and Alliance for IRS Accountability Mission
"Majority Reject Unrealized Gains Tax and IRS Surveillance of Finances
59% of Americans say taxing unrealized gains—taxing assets that have increased in value but have not been sold—is unjustified, and these concerns become even sharper when Americans learn what implementing such a tax would require. 66% say they are alarmed by the prospect of IRS agents subjectively appraising the value of their assets each year, a necessary step for any unrealized gains tax."
What is scary is that only 59% think this is unjustified. We simply have 35-40% of our country who is in full socialist mode.

The IRS demands absolute compliance from taxpayers, yet when former IRS agents are charged in $12 million fraud schemes, Americans see a glaring double standard.
Taxpayers deserve accountability, not hypocrisy.
@realDonaldTrump@SecScottBessent@USTreasury
AIA’s @ChuckAFlint on @RealAmVoice with @stevegrubershow: “The first thing that people need to feel like is that they are getting a fair shake from the IRS.”
The burden of proof must shift from taxpayers to the IRS, a sentiment heavily supported by our recent polling. Otherwise, it’s guilty until proven innocent.
The IRS burden of proof is completely backwards.
It’s guilty until proven innocent.
American taxpayers are paying the price.

IRS TRUST CRISIS GROWS
@ChuckAFlint says taxpayers deserve due process, arguing the IRS burden of proof is “completely backwards” and leaves Americans feeling like the deck is stacked against them.

ICYMI, New AIA polling confirms what we’ve known for years: the IRS is failing taxpayers.
See why trust in the IRS, an agency meant to serve the American taxpayer, is critically low: https://t.co/QZBNwU4txZ
NEW AIA POLLING: Taxpayer confidence in the IRS has been declining for years. Americans have spoken: they demand accountability at the IRS, not expanded power.
See the full results here: https://t.co/QZBNwU4txZ
ICYMI: Chuck Flint details why the U.S. tax system, which runs on voluntary compliance, only works if taxpayers trust the system. Years of shifting rules, uneven enforcement, and moving goalposts have eroded that trust. Restoring it should be priority one.

Americans don’t just see a problem—they overwhelmingly agree on the solution: clear customer service standards for the IRS.
Stay tuned for more polling results coming next week.
