Over 800 IRS employees owe millions in back taxes – IOTW Report

Over 800 IRS employees owe millions in back taxes

Wa Examiner

Over 800 Internal Revenue Service employees still owe millions in back taxes despite heavy criticism from Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), who is hoping the level of tax waste will be squashed by billionaire Elon Musk, the newly tapped co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency.

In a letter to the Iowa senator sent on Nov. 8 and shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner, the IRS noted that of the 2,044 employees who reported having balances totaling more than $12 million, 860 employees still have not paid overdue taxes. Only 20 of the 70 employees who “willfully evaded” paying their taxes were removed.

“We haven’t seen a tax revolt like this since the Boston Tea Party,” Ernst said in a statement. “If hardworking Americans dodge taxes, they are faced with steep fines and imprisonment, but it appears that tax collectors in Washington believe those rules are for thee but not for me.”

A July report, requested by Ernst, found over 5,800 IRS and contractor employees owed nearly $50 million in overdue taxes. Only 20 of the agency’s employees who failed to pay taxes were terminated.  more

  1. These deadbeats should be the easiest targets in the world for wage garnishment. It’s not like the IRS would have a hard time tracking down their employment information. It is precisely this kind or crap that makes citizens despise govt. with very good reason. Rules for thee, but not for me.

  2. If the laws do not protect me from thee, they equally do not protect thee from me.

    Beware motherf***kers, if you ever get doxxed.
