The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), Reference Number 2014-10-007, discovered that tax compliance is irrelevant when the government issues performance based awards to IRS employees. Therefore, employees who fail to pay their taxes or fail to file their tax returns can receive bonuses.
TIGTA conducted its tax audit in an effort to reduce spending on award programs. According to TIGTA, the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 compels the removal of IRS employees who are found to have intentionally committed misconduct, including the willful failure to pay and file taxes.
Providing awards to employees with conduct issues is not mentioned in the 1998 Restructuring and Reform Act; however, TIGTA found paying IRS employees bonuses with delinquent tax accounts is contradictory to the spirit of the Act.
TIGTA recommended the non-payment of performance and discretionary awards for IRS personnel who fail to file or pay their taxes If you did not file taxes last year or owe back taxes to the IRS or state taxing authorities, then the Law Offices of Todd S. Unger, Esq. can help.
