At least two good examples so far today of news outlets offering some real news coverage on this income tax deadline day beyond the Tea Party movement.

First, Associated Press has a great report on how the latest changes to the tax codes are creating both tax filer confusion and enforcement problems.

“As of March 5, the IRS erroneously gave out $24.2 million in Making Work Pay tax credits, according to the report by J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. The IRS issued a total of $25 billion worth of the credits during the period, for an error rate of less than one-tenth of 1 percent,” AP reports. “The IRS also erroneously issued about $4.7 million in tax credits meant for people who bought plug-in electric cars. The new tax breaks were enacted as part of the massive economic recovery package passed last year.”

Meanwhile, a new CNN poll indicates 74% of those surveyed believe the government wastes their tax dollars. I can believe that.

Other poll findings:

Americans are split on their overall opinion of the country's tax system: 49 percent say it's fair and 50 percent say it's unfair, according to the poll.

“Six in 10 Democrats say that the tax system is fair,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Republicans are split down the middle, with 49 percent calling it fair and 51 percent thinking it is unfair.”

Four in 10 questioned say that they are angry about the amount of taxes they pay; 36 percent say they're satisfied and just under one in four say they don't have particular feelings on the issue.

As the day goes on news outlets, please stick to these newsy angles.
