Washington Examiner, Obama’s IRS to Initiate Full Court Press, Warn Tax Law Experts:

As 2012 approaches, tax attorneys are sounding the alarm: The IRS will squeeze every cent it can and “it will be nastier than ever.” The Obama administration and U.S. lawmakers know that current economic conditions will probably result in less revenue collected from taxpayers, especially with high unemployment and more than 50% of the population not paying income tax.

Even the IRS’s top leader — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner — is quoted as saying that the IRS will be more aggressive in collecting back taxes and prosecuting Americans accused of tax evasion. …

For the first time, taxpayers’ primary residences are up for grabs by the IRS. … In the past, the IRS would not seize retirement accounts, but that too has changed.
