IRS Welcomes Home Hostages Held in Russia with the Gift of a Overdue Tax Bill

In case you didn't hate the IRS already, they have provided Americans with all new reasons.

Many Americans who return home after being illegally detained overseas arrive to find they've been billed thousands of dollars by the IRS—including late fees for unpaid taxes.

 

That's the bizarre situation in which hostages Evan Gerskovich, Paul Whelan, and Vladimir Kara-Murza found themselves after they were released from detention in Russia last month. All three men say they faced a battery of surprise financial issues after returning home, including tax charges and hits to the credit stemming from bills they were unable to pay while behind bars.

 

"I got one of those bills from the IRS saying, you owe this much on this year, you owe this much on this year because of failure to pay on time—here's the interest that's accrued," Washington Post reporter and former hostage Jason Rezaian told NPR. He faced more than $6,000 in fees for unpaid taxes after his release, following 544 days of detention in Iran. "This is an oversight that nobody really thought about."

Sigh. Even if you are in prison in Russia, they expect you to still file your taxes. Who knew?

Nothing like grieving the loss of your husband while you are pregnant, and then being called his name when you go file for death benefits.

Less government is better for everyone.

If Trump had been President when they came home and were harassed by the IRS, the Corporate Media would go nuts with stories about the inhumanity.

The issue is what happens to the people who don't have anyone to advocate for them? That's the scary part.
