As a part of the United States Treasury system, the IRS was created in the late 1800’s for the collection and enforcement of taxes. Many United States citizens have negative feelings about the IRS and the word “fun” most likely never comes to mind when dealing with the organization; especially if money is owed. We have compiled a short fact sheet with information about the IRS that we found pretty interesting!
- The IRS pays people a 10% commission to “tell” on dishonest taxpayers.
- Taxpayers actually have around 450 income tax forms and schedules to choose from when they do their taxes.
- The IRS receives over 125 million tax returns annually!
- The IRS decides to audit approximately 70% of all returns.
- Your chances of an audit increase if you do your own taxes because the IRS believe the average United States citizen does not have comparable knowledge to a CPA or tax attorney.
- The IRS is a large organization that has around 90,000 employees—about 2 times larger than the CIA and 5 times larger than the FBI!
- At one point in time, the IRS used Donald Duck as a mascot to get more citizens to pay their taxes.
