St Genevieve, MO, February 9, 2015:Tax resolution attorney Lance Drury, founder of the Law Firm of Lance R. Drury, and best selling author of “Successonomics” posted a new blog on the LANCE DRURY LAW website entitled “Budget Cuts at The IRS Spell Disaster for Many Taxpayers” just when Americans thought tax season couldn’t get any more stressful!

Mr. Drury recognizes the fact that, “No one really loves to pay taxes, however most people buckle down this time of year, grit their teeth and do their duty as U.S. citizens.” He continues with, “Unfortunately, this most unpleasant duty is becoming more difficult in light of recent budget cuts at the IRS.”

It’s never been mandatory for taxpayers to hire a service for filing their taxes. Drury confirms that writing,  “In the past, the IRS has offered services to help Americans navigate the complicated tax codes. There were robust customer service programs that included telephone help as well as walk-in centers.” Now, though, he shares, “according to a recent MainStreet article, “Today the IRS refuses to answer any but the most basic questions on tax law. The agency has also discontinued all help for off-season requests leaving, for example, anyone who has to file quarterly estimated taxes (a relatively complicated process) on his own.”(www.mainstreet.com)

Fear of making a mistake could change everything, as Drury elaborates, “Anyone who has previously filed his or her own taxes may become overwhelmed this year as a result of many changes to the tax code. Making sure taxes are filed on time and correctly is the taxpayer’s problem. So, those who have not paid to have their taxes prepared in the past may now be forced into paying to have their taxes done just to avoid any fees, interest and penalties that could result from making a mistake.”

According to Drury, “Budget cuts just don’t cut it for the IRS or for the American taxpayer.”
