“The IRS is now so short staffed and overwhelmed with the amount of work “
My wife told me that same thing. They see the IRS about 3 times a month over delinquent accounts and they are stretched.
One thing they will need to check is how much “co-mingling” went on with the business and personal. That is really messy and pretty common.
My friends that are field agents are carrying double the normal load and just trying to keep their head above water.
One major problem is that the IRS employees are either new and green or old and past retirement. There is no middle. People are getting fed up and bailing.
