KINDER, GENTLER NO MORE

April 08, 2005

Two headlines at Tax Analysts home page today seem to catch the spirit of today's IRS:

Everson Outlines Options to Close Service Centers

IRS Commissioner Mark Everson said on April 7 that the Service is considering a plan to shut down roughly 70 taxpayer service centers across the country to meet the constraints of the White House's fiscal 2006 budget proposal.


And:

Expanded Civil Enforcement Lends Muscle to Tax Fraud Prosecution, IRS, Justice Say

Over 100 promoters of tax avoidance scams and preparers of fraudulent returns have become subjects of civil injunctions stemming from the IRS's increased civil enforcement efforts since 2001, IRS Commissioner Mark Everson and Eileen J. O'Connor, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Tax Division, said April 6.

Kinder and gentler never seemed to fit IRS very well anyway.
