The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is going to hire between 600 and 700 new employees focused on tax enforcement, the agency's head announced.
The addition will be the agency's first significant enforcement hiring in more than five years, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said in a message to agency employees."
This is a good development for our tax system," Koskinen said. "When you look at the IRS overall, every dollar invested in us returns at least $4 to the Treasury. The numbers are even higher when it involves enforcement. Each enforcement position typically returns almost $10 to the U.S. Treasury for every dollar spent — and in many instances, much more."
