IRS will lay off thousands of probationary workers in the middle of tax season
The IRS will lay off thousands of probationary workers in the middle of tax season, according to two sources familiar with the agency's plans, and cuts could happen as soon as next week.
If they would send a report in February on the data they have on me. I could match on my tax return or I could do my own thing and be ready to justify it.
Pity they can't find and fire the morons who didn't know the law and managed to screw up my return a few years ago. It took my accountant about a dozen letters to two different branches of the IRS to straighten out the IRS screw up. As my accountant explained it to me, one hand doesn't know what the other hand is doing.
Worked at a business years ago where the owner had multiple other business interest going on, so naturally they "needed" to come in and audit him regularly. One dude showed up and they had to give him his own office. He was there for over a year "auditing the books." Turns out he was nearing retirement, so he just sat in that office for a year doing nothing, all the while hiding from his IRS supervisors. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess. I don't think he looked at a single company book. Just sat there doing crossword puzzles, drinking coffee, and smoking Marlboro Lights.
Recent article said the new 87k agents were really just auditing us because it costs too much to audit rich people, presumably because they have the means to fight back with attorneys.
as someone who has been fucked by assholes in the IRS too many times over the years, I am beyond happy. smug bastards and bitches that they where. one time I was short (according to them) 39 bucks. they put a lein on my house and froze my bank account ! and then added a fine of 500 bucks on it. so image how I feel about them ? dave in pa.
They are firing probies, people who have been there less than a year. People who have not seen a tax season yet. People who were going to be more of a drain than they are worth -- assuming you think their eventual work would be worth anything.
One thing I haven't seen or heard mention of is that 80+% of the govt probies are OTC - Other Than Caucasian - and thus prima facie DEI hires, as are the new hires all across the labor market for the last several years.

Seems to be enough fraud and waste that we don't need income tax, just government agents and politicians afraid of going to jail.
ReplyDeleteYa, it's not a good time to be a probie with the government...
ReplyDeleteLast in, first out. Union rules. Learn to weld.
ReplyDeleteGovt. doesn't really need the taxes anyway, they can just print however much they like to spend.
Exactly.
DeleteLearn to weld. Learn to code.........
DeleteOdd. I have no problem with this. (Ok not odd at all).
ReplyDeleteNever forget they wanted 87k ARMED agents willing to kill Americans citizens.
ReplyDeleteNo no .....87k ADDITIONAL ARMED AGENTS. You now, to supplement the existing armed agents ready and willing to kill you for their cut of your money.
DeleteJust think. The IRS audits will be a thing of the past... Maybe.
