As Americans, we know the importance of taxes. We also know what is fair and just. A family that is on a budget and decides to prepare their own tax returns to save what little they have, should not be penalized with a daily interest rate for making a mistake on their return.
We grant you an advance on the American peoples money interest free, yet when we make a mistake, we are charged 3% interest daily. Those are loan shark interest rates.
Our procedures need to be streamlined to allow easier access to the documents needed to correct our mistakes and get our past due tax bills paid before accruing interest.
Currently, citizens are not capable of going to IRS.gov and downloading certain forms needed to pay our past due bill. The AUR department takes 5-10 business days to mail forms.
