Provide America's taxpayers top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax responsibilities and enforce the law with integrity and fairness to all. This mission statement describes our role and the public’s expectation about how we should perform that role. In the United States, the Congress passes tax laws and requires taxpayers to comply. The taxpayer’s role is to understand and meet his or her tax obligations. The IRS role is to help the large majority of compliant taxpayers with the tax law, while ensuring that the minority who are unwilling to comply pay their fair share. read more
My particular team is a group of extremely talented people. They work very hard and even on their own time.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The environment is terrible. No one knows anyone else. People work from home because they are getting rid of office space and it's cheaper to send us out. Unlike working remotely but it makes for a very impersonal experience
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Congress and Senate are not held to the standards we are which is not fair. Thrusting have the same benefits or pay scale and aren't affected by their choices. Our Execs are puppets and do what they need to. The employees are never a consideration
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Perception is everything. No one cares about is because everyone hates us. We are always the first to get cut when we help people every day and bring in 99% of government funds. People are astonished to find out how many companies never pay over withholding or people who never pay their taxes.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Union research shows we are paid 20% less than comparable private sect jobs. Also we have had no raises in over 20 years. Cost of living has provided at !let .005% so for a 25k salary that's an increase of $100 which is awful. There has been a long hiring freeze and cannot backfill meaning more wrk
