If the poor are paying fines because they are making accidental mistakes on their tax returns when the IRS already has the numbers that they expect them to fill in on their forms, then how is that not the IRS unfairly targeting the poor?

What is fair about fining people for inadvertently writing down the wrong number or doing arithmetic incorrectly?

People eligible for EITC rarely are handling stacks of 1099 and business transactions.

We're talking about single mom with a couple part time jobs with a W-2 territory.

The idea their taxes should have mistakes more than average seems a bit far-fetched to me.

That said maybe it is cheaper and easier just to eliminate the EITC/taxes/filing for people earning under X. It seems like a waste to even bother with people making under 20 or 30 grand.

Please don't do this here. It's an unnecessary ad-hominem attack. If you want to refute what you believe to be inaccurate information, then do so, with references. If you don't have references, then ask the person you're responding to if they have references to back up what they're saying. Otherwise, leave well enough alone.

Is a "redditism" a criticism from Reddit? Or maybe a common belief from Reddit? What it means?

It's supposed to mean reddit-tier jokes, but it seems its meaning has been twisted a bit.
