If the Irs spend 10 Billion to run IRS what amount did they clear after collecting the tax of that year of 2005Why can we not get them out of here and pay a flat tax saving money and being fair?

I am trying to understand how much after IRS pays all their cost how much profit do they make to help our country and if so, what does that money go to I am a single mom and they are after me for not filing due to I was afraid and now trying to get back on line with it. Have great people helping me, but you should see how much they said I needed to pay and the interest rates.

Help me understand why this is so unfair!

AnswerIn 2005 the Internal Revenue Service collected $2.2 Trillion worth of taxes. I haven't taken the time to verify your figure of $10B to run the IRS in 2005, but using your figure that would mean that IRS collects 220x the amount that it spends.

Not bad, actually.
