With its various #tax relief provisions, the admin is now effectively adding hundreds of billions of dollars in new breaks for big businesses & investors. The #Treasury is empowered to write rules to help the #IRS carry out tax laws passed by #Congress. But the aggressive actions of the #Trump admin raise questions about whether it is exceeding its legal #authority.

But the succession of notices the #Treasury & #IRS have issued beginning in summer means the #tax could bring in a fraction of that.

The breaks come in addition to the ~$4 trillion package of tax cuts that #Trump signed into #law in July. The #legislation, passed entirely by #Republicans, heavily benefits #corporations & the #ultrawealthy. It is projected to add trillions of dollars to the federal #deficit & came with steep cuts to #healthcare for the #elderly & #FoodStamps for the poorest.

Seated across from #Trump that April night, Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Dallas, told the president about how his #church faced an #IRS inquiry over its #TaxExempt status under the #Biden admin, after hosting a rally with #political figures.

Franklin Graham, the son of the #evangelist Billy Graham, who runs a large ministry with his father’s name, chimed in that his groups had faced similar IRS inquiries during President Barack #Obama’s tenure.
