Great news! IRS ignoring 60% of taxpayer phone calls at deadline. ("Imagine abolishing the IRS")

SheriffJoe · Mar 31, 2015

WASHINGTON TIMES – IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Tuesday that service at his agency has gotten so bad that they are ignoring more than 60 percent of taxpayers’ phone calls during this tax season.

Speaking at the National Press Club, Mr. Koskinen pleaded with more money, saying a budget boost would help them staff their overwhelmed customer service lines. He also said it would help reverse staffing cuts in their compliance division, where he said the government will lose $2 billion this year in money it would otherwise have been able to collect if it had better staffing.

If there was ever a time to take liberties with your tax return, this is it.

One of my neighbors is a CPA and was telling me the same thing.

He also pointed out that the IRS has audit quotas they have to meet...and almost all of them have to be done by April 15th. Therefore, if you file an extension, there is a far smaller chance of being audited than if you file by the 15th.

Or, just get a job as a federal government employee. Then you apparently don't have to pay taxes at all.

It would seem to me that the IRS is miffed by their budget cuts so they’re going to show us who’s the boss and slack off.

They get to do less work and the taxpayers get to keep more of their money. It’s a win win all around.

Liberal logic sometimes works for Peter.

After Lois Lerner, I'm not sure how anyone right of Karl Marx can trust the corrupt IRS.

If the IRS becomes uber-politicized going forward, 'progressives' will have nobody to blame but themselves.

IRS’s Lois Lerner won’t be charged with contempt

The Obama administration informed House Speaker John A. Boehner this week it will not prosecute former IRS executive Lois G. Lerner for contempt of Congress, concluding that she did not waive her Fifth Amendment rights to avoid answering questions when she was called to testify nearly two years ago.
