/u/Warlover1 After reviewing all assets the taxpayer has, decide if suicide is best for the government and proceed. |

/u/gloomyglooomuses Stay calm and remain on the phone with the taxpayer; do everything to keep the taxpayer alive. An unalive taxpayer can't pay taxes. |

/u/ExecuSpeak "Ok, did you successfully put the check in the mailbox with our address? Great. Now you can kill yourself" |

/u/GixxerTrav I think the way to avoid suicidal tendencies would be to get off the phone immediately with the irs (fucking scum) but, it's the government- they know what's best right? |

Abolish the irs |

A government agency that triggers suicidal behavior in its' citizens should not be allowed to exist A government agency that demands money and threatens its' citizens should not be allowed to exist Taxation is theft. Period. The IRS must be stopped. Their behavior is reprehensible and illegal |

/u/OkCitizenBloons > While reporting a suicide threat to local law enforcement authorities, state only that the threat was made during a contact involving "official business" . Be careful not to mention the underlying reason for the taxpayer's call. what is this mafia shit |

/u/MichaelMach A federal agency reiterating basic practices for protecting private information. Would you rather the IRS inform police and whoever else about your tax situation outside due process? |

/u/RedditsFullofShit 87000 agents will be hired over a decade. So it's not all at once. And it's only 40k agents and 40k support staff answering phones they said. And prior reports say something like $6 is collected for every $1 spent on agents payroll. |

/u/Wolf_of_Walmart Yeah this guy is just parroting idiotic takes that he hasn't researched himself. The IRS needs to hire 52k people in the next six years just to maintain their retiring workforce. They also collect $300 for every $1 they spend (based on 2021 data: $4.1T collected on $13.7b in expenses). 30,000% ROI sounds like a pretty efficient use of money. Or in other words, the IRS only spends 0.033% of the total money it collects - the average Vanguard index fund has an expense ratio of 0.09%. |
