Whatever happened to draining that swamp, especially one as skanky as the IRS... Report: IRS Still Giving Bonuses to Tax-Cheating EmployeesBy Cathy Burke, Thursday, 15 Feb 2018 04:57 PM The Internal Revenue Service is still paying bonuses to nearly 2,000 bad employees — including more than two dozen tax-cheats — despite stepped-up screening, The Washington Times reported Thursday. According to the outlet, an audit released this week by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found the screening failure allowed $1.7 million in bonuses to be doled out to undeserving employees. The audit found more than 1,000 employees with tax problems were stopped from getting bonuses because of a tighter screening, but 1,962 employees with discipline problems and 26 staffers found to have intentionally cheated on their tax returns were still paid bonuses in 2016 and 2017, the Times reported. Other employees who were not in full compliance but had not been flagged for discipline also snuck through, the inspector general said. The new report is a follow-up to a previous audit that found more than 2,800 employees with conduct problems had gotten bonuses from 2010 to 2012, the Times reported. www.newsmax.com/newsfront/tax-cheats-internal-revenue-service-bonuses-inspector-general/2018/02/15/id/843670/
