I wonder just who they're buying it for (if the plan is to distribute it) or if they're storing it to create a shortage. Weaponized IRS has just taken on a new meaning. I don't know about the legalities of this, but it seems like a rather suspicious purchase for a tax collecting organization.

Right about that and this is the same IRS that's been saying they can't handle all the paper returns so shredded something like 30K of them. They can't perform their function, but they can provide ammunition to some domestic (or perhaps foreign) group?
Edit: That was thirty million they destroyed, not thirty thousand. Thanks to u/DarQ2light for the correction.
They shredded 30 MILLION <<<
Thanks for the clarification. Even the title of the archived TGP article referenced by the above-mentioned (now below-mentioned) post cited 30K - so I went to the source of that article. You're absolutely right - it was thirty million, not thirty thousand.

Yeah it kind of blew my mind I had to do a double-take and make sure I wasn't reading 30000 at 1st.kek!
Are these the work from home actually only doing about 4 hrs of work a week like the veritas dude from twitter?
Maybe they plan some heavy duty audits.
Working from home requires the same work ethic as self-employment does...and there's nothing wrong with being self-employed. Not sure what you meant to imply tho so I'll leave it there.
As a current Federal employee, there are quite a few other Federal employees that are taking advantage of the work from home situation to do everything but work. When I call and email a support staff person and they don't answer or get back to me for a day or two, we have a problem. As one of a handful of people on base that has worked throughout the entire covid business, I can honestly say that a lot less work is being accomplished by quite a few people that are still teleworking. Of course, even before telework, we had some employees that were barely working anyways.
My boss works from home and half the time I talk to her she's doing the dishes or laundry or some shit.
The IRS is no good at keeping hard drives in good condition, either.
Must be why I haven't gotten my return back yet.. State took like 2 weeks to return.. Federal? I filed in February.
In case you missed it...
