Question: What do IRS employees do when April 15 is nowhere on the horizon? Well, even when they aren't chasing down people who've listed dogs, deceased relatives or garden gnomes as dependents, it looks like their days are well spent. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has found inappropriate e-mail--chain letters, jokes, and yes, porn--on a whopping 74 percent of IRS employees' computers. The summary of the findings were detailed in a report titled "Inappropriate Use of E-mail and System Configuration Management Weaknesses Are Creating Security Risks."
Guess it just goes to show that the tax guys really are just like the rest of us.

Your tax dollars at work.
Taxing that ass?
fire them all!
So, fire every one of them.
i'd say that if you include e-mail chain letters in the list of inappropriate activities it's not surprising that you'd find 74% guilty. ditto on the jokes in bad taste. bad taste according to whom? i dont like the IRS any more than the next guy but i'm guessing this problem is no better or worse than anywhere else.
With apologies to the handful of true public servants on the payroll.
So, fire every one of them.
It is probably about the same percentage on every corporate computer throughout America. But they are not paid for by your taxes...
As long as they are looking at porn they are not trying to audit me. Keep looking at porn, guys. Keep looking. j/k
I dont like the IRS anymore then anyone else. But a joke... comeon... let a human being send a freaking joke...
Porn or raunchy jokes should be cause for dismissal, however.
"Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands"
I don't have a real problem with this going on at a private company, but NOT an agency that pays its' employees with the taxes it extorts from us...
"i dont like the IRS any more than the next guy but i'm guessing this problem is no better or worse than anywhere else."
Your guess would be correct. I actually thought 74% was kind of low, based on everything they listed and what I've seen on employee computers. Evidently, many people think those employees at the IRS either aren't human or should be held to a higher standard than every other employee in the country.
Wrong on the corporate part. Where I work, porn will get your fired so fast it will make your head spin.
Put a bounty on IRS employees, close the communist organization. Enact the Fair Tax
"... the true story of a man named Michael Kenyon who forced enemas onto some unlucky college students at the University of Illinois over a ten year period stretching from 1965 until he graduated in 1969 as an accountant - go figure.
He moved around the country working for the IRS and wherever he was stationed, enema bandit attacks would occur.
When he returned to Illinois in 1974 he went on a bit of a spree and it was at this point that the cops finally nabbed him.
Frank Zappa wrote a song about it entitled The Illinois Enema Bandit which can be found on the album Zappa In New York."
Hey, he was just practicing for his next tax-audit case!
It's not porn, it's System Configuration Management Weaknesses.
