By Stephen Dinan-The Washington Times Monday, February 3, 2014Citing the need to boost employee morale, the Internal Revenue Service’s new commissioner said Monday that he will pay out millions of dollars in bonuses to agency employees, reversing a decision his predecessor made to save money amid the sequester budget cuts and other belt-tightening last year.The agency remains under fire for targeting tea party groups, but Commissioner John Koskinen said the bonuses are needed to retain and attract good employees in a time of cutbacks.“This is money best spent on our existing employees,” he said in an email to agency employees. “The performance award payouts are in recognition of that great work done in very trying circumstances. I firmly believe that this investment in our employees will directly benefit taxpayers and the tax system.”The move didn’t sit well with congressional critics who have been stupefied by the agency’s targeting of tea party groups and, more recently, proposed rules to crack down on an even broader class of political activities by tax-exempt groups.http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/feb/3/embattled-irs-plans-employees-bonuses-2013-work/
yah...IRS has also announced that they well need three weeks to process your E-File from the day you file it. Not sure why since in the past they always processed E-Files in about a week...
Is this new since they delayed accepting to 31 Jan.?I am hearing a lot of hard working folks...AKA non fat cats that file and usually get a thousand or so refund and a couple hundred from the state are now owing or getting maybe 100 back.WTF is going on?
Yep, new this year. No idea why.
I heard all of what you are saying as well but can't find it on their page?http://www.irs.gov/
When you e-file a return you get a notice telling you it will take 21 days to process....
