Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) has requested that updates be conducted of two previous Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) audits dealing with IRS employees. Specifically, Ernst requested that TIGTA “conduct updated reviews of the IRS’s employment practices to determine how many agency employees are not currently fully compliant on their tax debts and how many rehires on the IRS payroll were previously separated for performance issues.” These reviews would include employees who failed to fully pay their taxes, and any actions the agency is taking “to remedy these compliance issues.” The previous audits were released in 2017 and 2019.
