JTN: Tens of thousands of federal employees have “repeatedly” failed to file their federal tax returns, according to a new federal watchdog report.
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration flags 42,000 so-called “federal employee non-filers” and states the government is limited in its authority to punish them, according to the Washington Times.
The IRS puts little effort into targeting the non-filers because of laws that restricts how much information the agency can share with other federal agencies, so it has limited ability to prod or punish the employees, the audit found. more
Using the words ethical and federal employee in the same sentence has got to be a joke.
Do as I say and NOT as I do.
Every public servant learns how to game the system. Every single one of them from the lowest to the POTUS.
Just fire their asses.
Withold their salaries, that’ll get their attention. But not filing is not the same thing as not having taxes withheld, so as long as Uncle Sugar is getting his cut not much will happen.
So, if I don’t file my taxes, they can’t/won’t do anything to me? RIIIIIIGHT!
From now on, I identify as a Federal employee…
Time to cut 42,000 IRS employees and don’t replace them.
