Best Answer

In theory the Courts and specifically the Supreme Court are the final check on the power of the IRS.

In practice this is problematic.

The IRS is so powerful and employs experts making the average American almost powerless in comparison.

To oppose the power of the IRS and get a decision either modified or overturned is enormously costly requiring top Tax Lawyers and years in Court.

To counter this the Other check on the power of the IRS has come into play.

The Congress and Senate have passed bills requiring the IRS to modify how they deal with the American People.

Lately the IRS has been in the news for "UNFAIRLY" targeting the Tea Party and like minded groups.

All in all this is how the system is supposed to work with a couple differences. The IRS's abuses should have been noted and tackled earlier.

The US people should not be frightened of any government agency.
