A former taxpayer advocate at the Internal Revenue Service called the letter “unbelievable” and said it makes the agency “look like it is the handmaiden of one administration and one party.”
said last week that nearly 90 million people already have received payments totaling nearly $160 billion.Not everyone is getting a $1,200 coronavirus stimulus check. Here's who will be left out.
Trump said the letter was needed to fulfill the requirements of the law and to let"each American know that we are getting through this challenge together as one American family."Olson said Trump's letter is the first time she can recall the president sending a letter directly to taxpayers through the IRS.
Trump already has drawn criticism because his signature was added to paper checks sent to taxpayers who did not receive their stimulus payments through direct deposit. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said it was his idea to include Trump’s name on the checks, and he denied reports that adding the president’s moniker delayed delivery of some of the checks.
Olson said adding Trump’s name to the checks and then sending check recipients a letter from him could further damage the credibility of the IRS. The agency is still reeling from accusations that it audited taxpayers on Richard Nixon’s enemies list in the 1970s and reports that it heavily scrutinized conservative groups under the administration of Barack Obama, she said.
