IRS chief: We don't hire tax cheaters anymore
 [WASHINGTONEXAMINER] The Internal Revenue Service has adopted policies that prohibit staffers who cheat on their taxes from working there, the agency's head told senators on Wednesday.As long as this man remains vertical and continues to take nourishment, I shall remain skeptical. "I have no indication that anyone working for the IRS ...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies... has not followed the updated procedures," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told the Senate Finance Committee. He added that those who hired tax cheats in the past "were operating under a different set of rules and regulations." A 2015 report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that 1,580 employees at the agency had willfully failed to pay their taxes, while 18,300 did so unintentionally. Of those who willfully failed, the IG found 61 percent retained their positions. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-12 |
