Are IRS employees actually responsible for anything?
Posted by Ralf Yoffe | Under Company Profiles, Currencies, Money Matters, Taxes Saturday Feb 23, 2008Apparently not.
It’s rare that I blog about client matters. I like to keep them private for a variety of reasons not the least of which are ethical considerations. But a recent client matter has me steamed. Really steamed. And it’s blog worthy. I’ll keep it generic.
Client had a tax matter that needed immediate attention. IRS Rep #1 advises me, quite candidly, that the current administration is leaning on the IRS to collect outstanding liabilities and despite earlier pledges of a “kinder, gentler IRS”, the marching orders are to take no prisoners, make no deals. Client submits offer with helpful suggestions from rep.
