Treasury Inspector General Report on IRS Awards
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration issued a report on April 22, 2014 showing the results of its review of the IRS Awards Program. The IRS provides awards both in terms of additional compensation (cash awards) and in terms of additional time off to its employees to recognize and encourage good performance. Though the IRS Awards Program complies with Federal regulations, it does not require that the employee have no substantiated conduct issues resulting in disciplinary action nor does it require that the employee have no substantiated Federal tax compliance problems. The IRS agrees with the recommendation to change this policy and will have a plan in place by June 30, 2014. Why did not common sense prevail in regard to this policy. This is another black eye for the IRS, the fourth we have counted. The Congress is still investigating the conservative non-profit organizations harassment by the IRS and is having trouble with the IRS producing emails about the incident. After the Las Vegas meeting and the lavish and unnecessary expenditures there, we hope the IRS has curtailed expenditures on outside meetings. We also hope that the IRS has found and punished the personnel responsible for abusing credit cards. The IRS needs to settle down and do its job of collecting the monies owed to the Federal government with its full efforts, budget, and attention.

A lot of of what you assert happens to be supprisingly accurate and it makes me wonder why I had not looked at this in this light previously. Your article really did turn the light on for me as far as this subject goes. Nevertheless at this time there is 1 position I am not necessarily too cozy with and while I attempt to reconcile that with the central theme of your issue, let me observe just what all the rest of your subscribers have to say.Very well done.
