The IRS spent over 4 million taxpayer dollars on a conference in 2010, CNN reported Tuesday evening. The actual amount wasted is unknown because the IRS was not required to keep its receipts, something that they require taxpayers to do. CNN correspondent Dana Bash discussed the excesses of the agency in a report on 360, including gifts, video spoofs and upscale hotel rooms for agency higher-ups, but the cost of those and the conference itself was unclear because the IRS had engaged in poor record-keeping: ANDERSON COOPER: I’ve got to go back to something you said. The IRS facing this audit

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Did they use credit card or cash ?
Unbelievable !
Have them recreate the receipts. That’s what they would have us do!
ROTFLOL — then deny them their reimbursements. Make them pay for everything out of thier own pockets! That’s what they’d do to us in an audit.
CNN?
Hmmm....sounds like its Open Season on the IRS.
May be more room to hope here than I thought.
Exactly!
I really want to know where the $13 billion+ that was overpaid in unearned tax refunds went.
try that the next time your audited......see what happens.
unbelievable
I truly hate this administration/regime.
If the IRS were held to the same standards they expect from the rest of us, this would be a serious infraction. But as it is, no major biggie. It’s just taqpayer dollars they are wasting.
We need a true taxpayer revolt where millions of Americans refuse to comply with filing. Just flat-out REFUSE to submit a return. I don’t see this happening, but we have the power to bring the IRS to its knees...if we would only exercise it.
Sure, let a taxpayer lose his reciepts and see what happens.
Since when does anyone in the government, especially the most powerful and privileged in the government, have to follow the same rules as the rest of us?
Thanks
“I truly hate this administration/regime.”
There is no correlation between what we have as government “leaders” and the word administration. No Bibles here, just “The Thoughts of Chairman Mao.”
Should read:”I truly hate this regime.”
There are copies of purchase orders that could be produced..... the credit card companies still have their copies of statements..... the bank still has copies of checks.....
Funny...wonder what ol’ Steve Martin thinks about the IR-SS’ recent abuse of power and targeting/shaking down certain groups.
