How does the IRS decide what is fair?

IRS and FAIR don't go in the same sentence.  LOL.\n\nSeriously, they just set rates according to income levels and tax brackets based on laws the citizens,legislatures, or agencies enact.

I would imagine the IRS has certain immunities to laws such as this, as well as having probable cause when suspecting an individual or business of tax fraud.

You aren't the first to ask. http://www.salestax.org/  \n\nHowever, taxes seem to be more about redistribution of wealth than fairness.

Apparently IRS goes by the definition stated by the Social Security.\n\n"..when your vision cannot be corrected to better than 20/200 in your better eye, or if your visual field is 20 degrees or less, even with Corrective lens.."\n\n.:Fishie:.

Don't worry about it.  Honest mistakes of less than $1 don't mean anything.  In fact, when you do your taxes, the IRS likes you to round everything to the nearest dollar.

Complicated question.  The IRS and DOL set the general rules, but the ultimate guide for each plan is the plan document.  This document has to be updated constantly for changes in the rules by the IRS/DOL.  You are entitled to have an SPD, or Summary Plan Description, by law; that will give you all you need to know.  Request one from HR.\n\nThe plan sponsor (usually the company / board / Pres / CEO / HR, depending on size of the organization) generally make(s) the decisions on how the plan will actually work within the framework provided by the IRS/DOL.  Do you have a more specific question relating to a feature of the plan?\n\nGood luck!

The IRS can't tell you because they're bound by the Privacy Act.  \n\nIf you're entitled to claim yourself and your children, file your own tax return, claim yourself and the kids, and then both you and the other person will be contacted by the IRS.  The IRS will make the decision as to who is entitled to claim you and the kids.

IRS.GOV. They have a bunch to choose from. They all have different guidelines so you will need to make sure you fall within the guidelines. That is the beat place for a variety for preparers
