IRS has difficulty ensuring its own employees' tax compliance

Government Executive reports:

The agency responsible for enforcing tax laws is having trouble ensuring its own employees are paying what they owe, according to a new watchdog report.
Under the Employee Tax Compliance project, the IRS developed a computer program to monitor its workers, which matches the employee payroll records with the general tax account records for all taxpayers. But in 2006 and 2007, 133 employees slipped through the cracks, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said in a report filed in May and released Tuesday.

Great moments in government.
