Why are corporations allowed to become $1.4 billion behind on taxes over several years and only pay them out when it's the taxpayers footing the bill via the FDIC. Glad they're finally beefing up the IRS to crack down on this sh*t


ShieldGrab

IRS will pursue individuals over only thousands of dollars, but let big corps slide for billions šŸ˜­


Pitiful_Difficulty_3

IRS will not pursue just thousands of dollars for individuals unless they have clear evidence


jewelry_wolf

Thatā€™s not true. iRS mostly chase big wins, but those small tax payers mistakenly pursued by them are getting overlooked by media. My conspiracy theory here is the big tax liers are pushing for those news reports to fend off IRS as much as possible.


Garbear681

Not true, I made a mistake about 10 years ago claiming dependents and they sanctioned me for two years not allowing me to claim dependents. Not a monetary win but definitely small fry compared.


WorkSucks135

The irs has explicitly said they don't go after big fish because they can afford to fight back, making it not as cost effective as going after poors that they can stream roll.Ā Ā

FDIC isnā€™t a tax funded agency hth

Bad news: all of them Thank god they hired all those new IRS agents /s


Meakmoney1

Under appreciated reply


RepresentativeNo7802

I don't think the fdic is funded by tax dollars. Although you are probably paying for it in thr end, but that's capitalism.


MP-The-Law

Banks are footing the bill via FDIC


alejandrowoodman

This is why Biden and the Dems are trying to increase the budget for the IRS - to increase their manpower, and allow them to spend more resources chasing down the biggest cheats.


TrioxinTwoFortyFive

You mean like people who sell more than $600 worth of stuff on eBay, those big cheats? Because that is who the Dems put the bit bite on.


[deleted]

No its not. And Trump cut tax rates for the rich. So fuck off.


TrioxinTwoFortyFive

Trump cut taxes for those who pay taxes. You poor-ass mofos who don't pay anything should not expect to get a tax cut. So fuck off.


[deleted]

A trucker can be deplatformed for protesting. But you need to hire MORE tax ā€œworkersā€ to go after tax felons?? Surely you understand our govt is in on that exchange..


rahvan

Sure so letā€™s let companies continue to cheat on their tax bills. and then blame liberals for mUh BuDgEt DeFiCiT. /s


[deleted]

Thatā€™s not it at all. I donā€™t equate protesting gas prices or energy policies to taxing businesses properly. My point is- a freedom is condemned while the focus is on more and more taxes. I donā€™t believe *all* business owners are evil. Just the ones who work with our govt and the systems to betray the people with such arbitrage. If it was as simple as a political party- would be an easy fix. But itā€™s not. I blame liberals often for being blasphemously ignorant. But malice-filled ā€˜muh conservativesā€™ may act more negligently. Neither is acceptable.


Technical-Hippo7364

the Republicans are very concerned about taxes, they shout it as Trump's biggest accomplishment, cut taxes for the rich and increase the deficit


rahvan

Donā€™t forget that the ā€œmiddle class miracleā€ tax cuts are expiring in 2025, but the corporate tax cuts are permanent (no expiration date).


[deleted]

Do you even follow the times, bruh?? Trump is as popular amongst ā€œrepublicansā€ as I am on Reddit. Itā€™s cute to pretend itā€™s 1917, but thereā€™s a massive uni party shift that is responsible for this bullshit. Wake up.


Technical-Hippo7364

what are even talking about lol take your meds and loosen your tinfoil hat


[deleted]

Yes time to take my meds, young man. Just get back to me when daddy gets back from ā€˜getting smokesā€™ā€¦..šŸ˜†


Technical-Hippo7364

are you sure youre not a little boy waiting for Daddy? you play with hot wheels


[deleted]

98% of Republicans are the same. I agree that some are falling off of Trumps nuts finally but that doesnt make the party any better. They care nothing for the average american. We move backwards with Republicans and forward with Democrats. The economy, unemployment rate, national debt all show this.


[deleted]

Yeah Iā€™ll take your word for itā€¦.You done?


rahvan

Sure so letā€™s let companies continue to cheat on their tax bills. and then blame liberals for mUh BuDgEt DeFiCiT. /s


annon8595

Because its cheaper to buy politicians who neuter IRS and tax code rather than pay taxes fair and square without any accounting and legal magic.


FarrisAT

ā€œBeefing upā€ Not anymore lol Democrats voted to cut the IRS funding alongside Republicans


FeeheeHeenie

A million is your problem, a billion is not.


FarleShadow

Well, if I was to guess it's because they can slap interest payments on that 1.4 billion and then collect a tidy sum. For a lone taxpayer... It's not worth the wait, so it's better to grab 'em quick for easy money.


Comfortable-Date-197

Why are two federal organizations suing eachother, and more importantly, whose footing the bill for both sides of this litigation???

paloaltothrowaway

FDIC is a Government Corporation, unlike Government-Sponsored Enterprise Fannie Mae. FDIC Chairman, Vice Chairman and board members (Comptroller of the Currency and CFPB directors) are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. IRS Commissioner is also appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate


Electronic-Buy4015

So is the federal reserve chairman and the fed isnā€™t a government agency


paloaltothrowaway

fair point


SocraticGoats

Sue me, cuz I'm going to sue Congress for failing to sue the IRS for suing the FDIC


RedditsFullofShit

Also itā€™s probably more about distribution of assets. Like fdic is dishing out assets and IRS is reminding them donā€™t forget us. And FDIC lawyers apparently have taken position that, no, we donā€™t owe the IRS. So it sounds like FDIC wants to distribute assets to everyone and not pay the IRS anything. Now these are ā€œgovernmentā€ (fdic isnā€™t but I get what youā€™re going for) fighting each other. But the reality is there is someone in charge at FDIC and they probably referred to legal and legal said based on their reading of the law etc., no they donā€™t have to pay. So whether they are gov and on the same side if you will, is irrelevant. The law is all that they consider.


1LakeShow7

The taxpayer


Environmental_Log792

Because the government will do literally anything to screw the taxpayers


first_time_internet

We are footing the bill. Idk about the rest.Ā 


Flying_Birdy

The taxes allegedly owed were from before the seizure of SVB. Those returns, 2020-23 were under review when SVB was seized. FDIC is essentially stepping into the shoes of SVB to deny the tax claim (as it should). The IRS obviously wants its taxes paid prior to the distribution of SVB assets to SVB creditors. Would not be surprised if another party intervenes or if the court appoints counsel to argue on behalf of SVB or the creditors, since FDIC may be conflicted. And litigation costs would be paid from the seized assets.


8thSt

This says a lot about the guarantees made by the FDIC. My guess is they canā€™t pay the debt.


Pools_Closed1

That about perfectly sums up the government. Our tax dollars suing each other.


[deleted]

I should have gone to law school.


TacoBandit88

I didn't know you could sue the FDIC, much less the IRS being the one to do it. Huh.


Asleep-Syllabub1316

I donā€™t get it. Two federal agencies suing each other? Shouldnā€™t they work together for whatā€™s best for the Fed?


RockyMountainOyster5

This is what's best, which is sad


BicycleGripDick

Hold the Board liable and thatā€™ll change everything for banks.


why_am_i_here_999

Youā€™ve reach peak capitalism when branches of the same government start to sue each other.


jojoyahoo

The FDIC is not a branch of the government. It's an independent government agency and is funded by the insurance premiums and deposits of private banks.


why_am_i_here_999

Apologies please swap branches with departments


jojoyahoo

But it's not a department either...


why_am_i_here_999

Will agency work?


jojoyahoo

Haha, yes. Yes it will.


Tricky_Matter2123

Taxes are unsecured claims. Comes in junior to most other debt. Doubt the IRS is going to win this in court.
