    I assume one must have an appropriate college degree.

    Also, given that the House of Reps may well flip to the Republicans in November, if I were a qualified applicant, I might wait to see the results before committing to the IRS.

    How can House control affect a service within the Treasury Department?

    Why do you keep spreading the same mis-information? From what I've read a HUGE chunk of the money is going to go towards support people. You know, people running help lines etc.

    NY AG may seek ‘corporate death penalty’ for Trump Tower — and all his golf courses: legal expert

    "The department estimated in a 2021 report that the funding may cover about 87,000 employees, which has been widely reported. However, these hires may include a range of positions, such as auditors, customer service and IT workers, the Treasury clarified in a statement to CNBC on Wednesday."

    The number of new agents I saw estimated was around 20k.

    That is still an absolutely herculean task, imo. Maybe they could hire that many over 5 years, and that would still be quite an HR accomplishment.

    I believe the stated goal is over ten years.

    The other reality is that most investment should be going into better IS infrastructure, including AI, to review through filings and support documents and then flag which claims actual analysts need to review.

    It would take years to onboard that many people with any semblance of standards

    If Congress lowered taxes, they wouldn’t have to worry so much about people cheating on their taxes.

    I don’t have standards and have a few people I’d like to audit.

    I’m in if they hire me.

    I'd rather we have 87,000 Border Patrol agents. We wouldn't have a hard time finding them.

    I think you need a CC. They’re stockpiling ammo and weapons

    The bad thing is they will not be looking for fraud. They will look where the money is.

    The next Congress may well reduce the funds allocated for this. Would you join a corporation if you knew there was a good chance of a hostile takeover and elimination of your new job?

    And even if it is 20k more, that a real shitty thing to do, increase taxes and hire more agents while inflation is whipping America’s ass.

    The gullible actually think the IRS is coming for their guns and they’re prepping for war.
    Good luck with that MAGAs. Check out these guys with their TicToc posts.
