An IRS tax examiner went on the record with O’Keefe Media Group and blew the whistle on the agency.
“We can’t do anywhere close to what the American people think we can,” David Nelsen, Tax Examining Technician for the IRS, told James O’Keefe. “We have very antiquated systems. They aren’t integrated. We’re basically handcuffed.”
David Nelson said there has been virtually no funding to improve anything at the agency.
“There’s been no funding for decades to try to improve anything,” Nelsen said. “When funding is provided, it’s put towards little Band-Aid issues instead of the big problem of the whole.”
“We also have very antiquated software. We use a software called Integrated Data Retrieval System (IDRS),” Nelsen added.
David Nelsen said the outdated software has led to a bloated workforce and delays in tax processing.
“We could probably reduce the size of the IRS substantially with changes, programs, a centralized inventory system, replacing IDRS,” he said.
Last month the IRS fired 6,000 employees as President Trump works to reduce the federal workforce.
The IRS is planning to cut up to 50% of its workforce.
“I’m not afraid of losing a career,” Nelson said. “I’ll fall on the sword if it means I can help the American people and help everyone else at the IRS who are doing their jobs.”
