Everything Is in the Best of Hands: “Security Weaknesses Are Not Timely Resolved and Effectively Managed”
The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) released a report today, and it doesn’t make for pleasant reading; it’s titled, “Security Weaknesses Are Not Timely Resolved and Effectively Managed.” If you wonder why some don’t feel confident with the … Continue reading
That 6 Million Return Backlog? Oops, We Mad a Math Error: It’s Really 24 Million

The Scamsters Haven’t Stopped
One of my clients called me first thing this morning (we’ll call him Joe from Richmond, Virginia; all names and cities have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty). Joe said he got a phone call from David. David … Continue reading
While I Was Out: TIGTA Assails IRS’s ITIN Management and Did Harry Reid Violate the Law?
My vacation is over, and that’s not a good thing (for me). While I was enjoying my time off, our Congresscritters remain in a bickering mood. A close election–and this year’s presidential race will likely be one such race–means that … Continue reading
