The IRS disciplined 1,068 staff between October 2021 and April 2023 — together with 139 who “willfully” paid their taxes incorrectly — however solely 20 of them had been fired. Others had their instances “mitigated” as a result of that they had been working for the IRS for a very long time or had excessive job efficiency scores.

Seventy-six staff had been suspended, principally for 2 weeks or much less.

Auditors additionally discovered that the IRS rehired 397 staff and 115 contractors who beforehand had conduct points, together with 282 employees with multiple conduct or efficiency concern. The “conduct issues” ranged from unauthorized entry to taxpayer returns to sexual assault and prison behaviors. Eighty-five of them beforehand had points paying their taxes, and 306 had “unacceptable” job efficiency.
