IRS will need at least a year to recover from government shutdown, watchdog tells Congress

Total BS. People are already receiving their tax refunds.

This is outrageous!

That's what government workers get you. Between their breaks, and standard slow motion working capacity, that's about right.

imagine licking boots this hard. gross

clinjones13 Send all those letters to Trump.

Untrue

Fahrenthold Oh bullshit.

WiseWarrior69 My only hope is that Trump’s cruel shutdown will open some Republican eyes as to their future with him as president. Not all affected by the shutdown get back pay, businesses may not recover lost revenue, stress will impact negatively. VoteBlue2020

5 million pieces of mail in a couple weeks? How did they keep up before? That's if you believe the MSM.

This sounds like ANOTHER B.S. story to me.

Ridiculous!

Then we definitely need another shutdown!

Fahrenthold meanwhile, how are all those administration-wide vacant appointments working out?

Fahrenthold But make sure YOU file on time, or else.

Fahrenthold Probability of an audit just fell. I bet that is not an unwanted result by Trump.

PersianKittenz 🤬😡

Fahrenthold Hey Post, While you’re retweeting yourself, retweet this summary ow the WP 👇👇

Does this mean I can take a lil' longer to pay off my back taxes or nah? GoFundMyAudit

Are they that lazy 3 weeks put them a year behind

deray A YEAAAAARRR?!?

The ripple effects of this shut down will continue to resonate for a few years. younger folks will leave for more stable employment, those nearing retirement will punch out early and those in the middle will be looking to transfer to safer agencies if possible.

deray I hope the IRS gets behind on The Trump family taxes n their on the audit list

deray But them refunds tho.

This is what you realDonaldTrump have brought us. But you don’t care. You’re running and hiding now, Mueller is getting close, very close. You can almost hear the FBI knocking on yr door. MuellerIsComing

HydeBlizzardbox Will Americans get an extra year to recover from the tax policies from the TaxCutsScam

Do away with IRS and EPA

Great!

Really? Why can’t they work harder and more hours like the private sector to get caught up? Let’s hold the govt and it’s workers accountable!

How about they try working a bit longer and harder to expedite things. You know, like a private enterprise would?

No sorry - get your shit together before April 15th like we have to!! Or we want interest .. sound familiar?

THATS HORSE SHITT!!!!!

Well Trump messed that up didn't he?IMPEACH TRUMP AMENDMENT 25 UNFIT TO LEAD MENTAL REVIEW-ASAP ! & NO WALL

My best friend a high up in the IRS states your wrong god grow up and at lease tell the truth. They work overtime all the time during January- April DA

Wrong again WP. RESEARCH is the answer. College shows you how to do that. Thats if you went to one. You have no right

Must be missing some basic math: Shutdown 35 days plus 7 more to get back up= 1 year to recover? So they are blaming shutdown on past ineptitude to get work done? Here we go. Every govt dept will start bitching about not enough workers, so overwhelmed, so much to catch up on.

This is probably more fake news! But, the IRS hasn't ever been good about responding to its mail even when fully staffed! There are probably still Obama staff holdovers taking their time in responding to inquiries from conservatives, particularly when it's non-profit requests!

Just as long as we get to see Trump's tax returns.

The IRS should be shutdown completely. Forever.

🙄 bs

I believe it. It will take all of us a year at least. It was shocking, unbelievable to think a President of the United States would do such a thing to the very people he swore to protect, foreign and domestic!You don’t gamble with the lives of millions of innocent American people

So we shouldn’t expect our money back from the IRS anytime soon but they will be calling right at your door if you owe them! In my opinion a very convenient excuse!

A year to recover from a month off? This is government employees for you

Is anyone really sad about this? Lol

The IRS has been financially hamstrung/punished by the Republican House for a lavish seminar during Obama admin.

How long did they need last time?

Can we stop pretending Republicans are the party of fiscal responsibility and family values

This:

Isn’t this a good time to thank our lucky stars for our prudence in making sure the US has an ample financial cushion to fall back onOtherwise we surely would have been soundly rocked by this most recent match of Huevos, Huevos, Who’s Got The Huevos

Well better get to work then.

IRS needs more help then that. They lie CHEAT and steal.

Trump will use this as an excuse not to release his tax returns. Since he’s a pathalogical liar, I doubt those would be accurate anyway. He admitted not paying taxes for 19 years for losing a Billion dollars. No wonder US banks won’t loan him money, he breaks things for a living

If it make ppl suffer indescrminate injustice ,why not abolish it by law that prevent this fiasco from happening again.. Are all the congress men & women all pussies..

lol

EndTheIRS

Wtf I love the IRS now

Blame O & H & co.

Watchdog - Jan Theuninck, 2018

How much time do they need to fix this?

Thanks a lot, Cave Man POTUS

Had realDonaldTrump not turned his back on America and let SpeakerPelosi and the AntiAmericanLeft win we could’ve seen an end to this money grabbing agency.
