Biden’s IRS levies $2.72 million fine when it should have been $50,000; appeal goes to Supreme Court WASHINGTON, DC- This week, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of a Romanian-American businessman who was fined $50,000 by the Internal Revenue Service for allegedly failing to file tax forms on time.
To make matters much worse, an appeals court increased the fine to $2.72 million, claiming the fine should have been levied based on the number of bank accounts he held as opposed to the number of forms he had failed to file in a timely manner, the Epoch Times reports.
The Biden administration, in an apparent attempt to squeeze as much money out of people as possible, spoke out in favor of the confiscatory fine and asked the high court to refuse to take the case. The case, Bittner v. United States of America is an appeals case from the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals.
The justices didn’t explain in the order, which was not signed, why they had agreed to hear the case, as is typical procedure when deciding writs of certiorari for SCOTUS review.
The case involves Alexandru Bittner, who was born in communist Romania and who moved to the United States in his youth. He initially worked as a dishwasher, and later on as a plumber. He eventually became a naturalized citizen in the U.S. and maintains dual U.S. and Romanian citizenship.
After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Bittner returned to his homeland, living there for about 20 years until late 2011. Bittner became a successful business owner, and had a number of non-U.S. personal bank accounts and owned stock in a number of Romanian corporations where he also maintained foreign bank accounts. During his time abroad, Bittner maintained limited contact within the United States.
