IRS Hiring Gun-Carrying Agents in all 50 States

Hmm, 360 additional special IRS agents (for over 331 million citizens per the 2022 census) to work on suspected CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. Criminal Activity such as corporate illegal activity or organized crime groups.


Mind you, I'm all for definite reform of our tax system (like inherited wealthy paying more taxes). But I don't see any of these special agents knocking down the doors of a magazine shop owner who screwed up on their taxes or schmoes like you and I doing the same...even if 1 year of some income not reported. Remember, general audits are random. What this site you listed points to are suspected crimes where a hell of a lot money is involved. Remember, it was a tax audit that got mobster Al Capone sent to jail...NOT blazing gun battles and such like Untouchables movie.

WRONG.

Al Capone, while a notorious gangster, was captured by the FBI (not the IRS) while leaving a court building. No shootout was necessary. By the standards of gangs in Chicago today, Al Capone was a wimp.
Gangs and organized crime today is much worse than the days of Al Capone. Today, blazing gun battles by Chicago gangs have resulted in 688 deaths just last year. This is in addition to the some 1400 deaths in a single year from fentanyl and other drugs in the same city...ALL caused by organized crime and gangs. Now the gangs have a new variant of fentanyl on the streets, cut with veterinary tranquilizer. It is called 'tranq'. It turns you into a living zombie before it kills you.

Al Capone got his money from gambling and alcohol.

We spend billions on nuclear weapons, and have spent trillions. It is an actual deterrent which could be used. If one day we wanted to start using the Federal Air Marshalls to do more, they would still do the same as now.

Federal Air Marshals are part of the U.S. Marshal service, specially trained to enforce the law on board passenger aircraft. They fly under cover, and will not act unless a situation appears placing passengers in danger, the aircraft in danger, or the flight crew in danger. If you fly, you may have sat next to one and never known it.

Of all the Marshals, they are the best shots. They are also excellent on hand to hand combat and using techniques to neutralize the danger without necessarily requiring shots to be fired.

Fine men and women, doing an extremely difficult job...and they do it very well.

Usually, the IRS seizes assets for failure to pay. For the most part, they will not even arrest for failure to pay. They mostly arrest for actually tax fraud, lying about how much is owed Failure to pay mostly ends up being a civil issue.

There could be violence when they attempt to seize assets. Obviously, they can take away the money in the bank with no violence, but taking someone's home does involve moving them away from their home. The IRS does not personally do that, but rather has other government law enforcement do it.

IRS special agents are mostly used for questioning potentially violent suspects. That both requires the IRS involvement, and also requires being armed. It is not a common occurrence, which is why there are so few armed special agents needed.

And what happens if you refuse their seizure of assets?

I have a major problem with anyone shooting IRS special agents, or anyone other law enforcement.

So you have no problem with people that are untrained in tax law shooting people over a dispute, right?
Oh...and what about Antifa and BLM, that want to defund and dismantle police, and use violent tactics to do it, that YOU support?

You're locked in paradox, dude.

They do it well? Then you should have no trouble listing their successes? Or even one of their successes?

The nuclear armed forces of the USA could at a minutes notice kill the majority of humanity. I am not saying that is a good thing, but it is a successful thing.

Meanwhile, the cost $200 million per unruly customer they escort off the plane, and are more often the unruly, drunk passenger than the person escorting them off the plane.

Many assets are beyond your control to prevent seizure of, such as bank accounts, salary, etc. Even real property, like a house can be legally seized without your presence, but the actual physical seizure requires actual contact with you. That would generally either be handled by federal marshals, or more commonly local police. After all, after the legal seizure, you are illegally trespassing in the house, which is a local law enforcement problem.

IRS special agents would almost never handle evicting trespassers.

Tax disputes are supposed to be settled in court, not in a wild west shootout. If you are committing a felony by shooting at special IRS agents, the problem is not your lack of tax law training.

Why do you claim to know what you do not? You say they are not trained before they are hired?

Good CPA’s consider IRS accountants to be losers.
Why would an accountant work at a gubmint job that’s nearly impossible to get fired from?
Because they all got fired from private industry.
