The IRS on Monday said it is ending its decades-long practice of agency revenue officers making unannounced visits to taxpayers, citing concerns over agent safety and an increase in scammers.
Unarmed agency employees would visit homes and businesses to collect unpaid taxes and unfiled tax returns. Except for a few unique circumstances, unannounced visits will immediately end and be replaced with mailed letters for taxpayers to schedule meetings, the IRS said.
“The growth in scam artists bombarding taxpayers has increased confusion about home visits by IRS revenue officers. Sometimes scam artists appear at the door posing as IRS agents, creating confusion for not just the taxpayers living there but local law-enforcement,” the agency said in an announcement about the new policy.
IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said the visits created anxiety for both taxpayers and agency employees. more
Shoot first when someone claims to be from the IRS comes knocking. Got it.
Like the old band joke about the drummer –
Whadya do it you see an IRS agent staggering around in your backyard at 3AM?
Shoot ’em again.
keep your dindu-ass out mofos
same for the rest of the alphabet-dindus
increased confusion
Correct. There is no difference at all between a scam artist and an IRS agent.
Good thing we got another 86,000 of them on the way. And the UNarmed ones just stopped their unannounced visits.
Good catch ECP!
but wait McCarthy promised me on DAY 1 he would defund the IRS for the 87,000 new agents……right after he released all the January 6th tapes…….
Sounds like bullshit to me. The IRS has been armed with tactical weaponry and protective gear and now they’re going to do what with all that?
But they have been notifying… CNN when they do a no-knock warrantless visit on a conservative person. I mean, you want the public to see how much terror they can create. You know, IF they want to.
obidens are afraid to deal with real humans
Must have tried that in a small town!
“…citing concerns over agent safety and an increase in scammers.”
The agents ARE the scammers. Glad to see government being afraid of the public, as it should be.
Either way they’re out to put the screws to you.
These IRS agents are living in your community. Easy enough to follow home and identify. 80,000+ armed agents with minimal training and orders to use lethal force if needed. Shoot first. Collect their gear. Disappear the bodies. Repeat.
I think it was Robert Heinlein who said he never drank to excess, because it could cause him to shoot at tax collectors — and miss.
