New IRS Section
We have just added an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) section under taxes in our website. It includes background information including the IRS history, the way it is organized today, and its budget since 2008. We have also included information on its staffing levels overall, by function, and by personnel types from 2008-2012. We also explain the $450 billion tax gap, the outstanding taxes owed each year to the Federal Government but uncollected. We have also noted considerations in making the IRS function better (especially in collecting more monies especially in closing the tax gap) and our proposal for the changes we believe will be most fruitful in cutting the US federal deficit.
