IRS Doesn't Fire Its Tax-Delinquent Employees as the Law Requires
Government Executive: The Internal Revenue Service fails to fire the overwhelming majority of employees who are delinquent on their taxes, despite a legal requirement to do so.
Of the 1,250 employees the IRS identified as not fully paying their tax bills or not doing so on time in fiscal 2017, it only took disciplinary action in 90 cases—just 7% of the time. In the vast majority of cases, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found, IRS management concluded that employees were not “willfully” failing to pay their bills and therefore should not be fired.
