“I’m going to kill all of you!” at the agents

Did I do wrong?

I guess they ALL know that there is no LAW to collect income tax on WAGES...

“Actually, we haven’t broken 80 for seven days in St. Louis - you know, from all that global warming....”

Here in Cleveland it is 65 and raining. This is one of the coldest July's on record.

It is Because of Globull warming that it is so cold. Don't you know anything, Sheesh!

Hmmm... This guy sounds like Treasury Secretary material. Geithner had better watch his back!

“One of the biggest groups of non-filers is employees of the IRS. It’s high time they start arresting these scofflaws.”

Not true. The IRS examines each employees return every year. The largest group of non-filers is attorneys.

There is a current proposal from the Treasury Dept to make it a felony if there are three or more years of non filing.

Sounds as though he’d have bought himself some time if he’d spoke to them through the breezeway and had mortise bolts on the doors.

Actually its been really cool in the midwest - unseasonably so - like not since early 1900s type of thing.

[Know et al]

A “baton.” And what did he do then, sing the school cheer and rattle his pom-poms?

No, he began to direct a symphony orchestra.

Another racist home invasion.

Actually, I think I read elsewhere that this guy was stealing tax ID info and filing false returns to keep the refunds.

I get these type stories all the time as a cpa.

Not many people realize that the reason the checks payable to was changed from IRS to U S Treasury a few years ago is that government employeees were opening bank acoounts under the name Ira R. Smith and altering tax payment checks to deposit them in their own account.

“...Bront learned that he was being investigated for filing false tax returns...”

Was he in line for a presidential appointment? Seems like being a tax cheat is a qualifier for one.

If you really don't know it's a three piece assembly of steel tubing that, in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, can break bones and deliver a lethal blow to the skull. Used properly it can cause severe pain without inflicting serious damage.

If you are just being snarky I'd advise you to keep your attitude in check if you ever face an opponent armed with a "baton" as you won't like what happens next.

I think people who think that way are supposed to be weeded out of the program during the first week.

I must respectfully disagree. The tax return of every IRS employee is automatically audited. I know this because I was an IRS seasonal employee for years (Please don't judge me too harshly- I needed to work through collage and the IRS offered flexible hours, relatively decent pay compared to most struggling students, and were generally very accommodating in letting me work around my semester schedule).

Anyways, IRS employees must attend a mandatory ethics briefing every year at the beginning of filing season and sign a pledge that we will file on time and accurately. If the audit finds something, you will be investigated by the Treasury Inspector General of the Tax Administration and your job could be in jeopardy. I was once called in be the TIGTA guys for filing an extension. Previously, it wasn't allowed for IRS employees to file extensions, but that year it was. I guess they just wanted me know they still frown on it. I knew a guy there who almost fired because he forgot to include a pitly little dividend check (under a $100) from a previous employer on his return.

Bottom line: IRS employees have no choice but to file their taxes timely and scrupulously. They don't normally send armed Treasury Agents to your door over one false return, you have to be an IRS employee to get that sort of special treatment.
