At Least There Is One IRS Employee Who Is Proud to Say He Works For the IRS

Posted on by Jason Bramwell
Charles Rettig

“The IRS remains dedicated to improving service to taxpayers, modernizing its systems and maintaining the integrity of the tax system, while also protecting the health of its workers and American taxpayers. The way the IRS has responded to the challenges we faced this year serve to highlight the significant role that the IRS plays in the overall health of our country—in 2020 and beyond.

“As I look back over the past year, I’m still extremely proud to be able to say, ‘I’m Chuck Rettig, and I work with the Internal Revenue Service.’”

— Commissioner Charles Rettig wrote in the agency’s fiscal year 2020 report, which was released on Tuesday.

President Barack Obama proposed increasing the budget for the Internal Revenue Service by 9.4 percent to hire more than 5,000 new employees, most of whom would pursue tax cheats. The president’s fiscal 2012 budget released today sets funding for the tax-collection agency at $13.3 billion, an increase of $1.1 billion from 2010, the last time a full appropriation was made for the IRS. Almost half of the increase, or $460 million, would support the agency’s tax-enforcement programs. Under the plan, the IRS would focus on fighting tax evasion through the use of offshore accounts and cheating by corporate and high-wealth taxpayers. It also would seek out fraudulent tax preparers.
