MORE EVIDENCE THAT IRS EMPLOYEES ARE FELLOW HUMANS, DEEP DOWN

August 10, 2006

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reports that IRS employees use e-mail, well, a lot like everybody else:

IRS employees are violating provisions of the personal use policy with their email usage. Specifically, we found inappropriate email messages in 74 percent of the employee mailboxes reviewed. These inappropriate email messages contained chain letters, jokes, offensive content, and sexually explicit content.

Jokes! How dare they! I wonder what IRS jokes look like?

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Who cares, if he didn't have adequate documentation of the trip's business purpose under Section 274!

UPDATE: The TaxProf has more.
