Commissioner John Koskinen informed IRS employees in an email that they'll get a bonus next March of 1 percent of their base salary. The performance awards go to most employees.
"I believe that rewarding our high-performing employees is a vital investment for our nation's tax system," Koskinen said in the Monday email that was obtained by The Associated Press.

The IRS, where all employees are above average.
For spying on the country the IRS budget was cut from something like $13 billion to $12 billion.
THAT is punishment...?
Whoever is supposed to collect from a certain Rev. in New York should get a demotion.
It doesn't surprise me that the IRS hands bonuses out like candy. I wonder if they double the bonus of any IRS employee who audited a Tea Partier.
That’s a lot of “hush” money.
IMO, These are GUBMINT (meaning our) employees and should not be entitled to any “bonus” for doing their job.
If they worked for a private company, that might be another story and up to the owner of the business or stock holders.
As a County Commissioner, I once argued that issue and WON, “NO BONUS”.
kafkaesque.
Gov’t agencies do not merit bonuses, particularly the IRS!
This is the fellow who said he “moved heaven and earth” to find the Lerner emails, and said they no longer existed, only to have 30,000 or so show up last week?
Why yes, the same fellow.
He’s a creep.
Collection bonuses on tea party members?
I was a county employee for many years, first with the Assessors Office then with Health and Human Services. No one, not ever, got a bonus. We didn’t even get overtime if we went over our 40 hrs for some reason. We got comp time. We never, ever got a penny over our regular pay.
In most private companies, 1% is crap. Before I retired my company paid 10% bonuses to hourly workers, 20% bonuses to first line managers and 30% bonuses to directors and above. The bonus criteria were very tough and in some years we got zero. And many employees got nothing as well if their individual contribution sucked.
One percent of $100,000 is $1000.
That's a pretty crappy "bonus."
40 minute to over an hour wait time answering their phones, then they're unable to resolve simple issues with their junk tax software, even if you explain their own i1040 documentation to them...
It is $1000 too much.
As an aside the friend I have worked for BML, not NPS. So many gov agencies it's hard to keep track of them all!
Are they on Piece Work Rates?
Do they get a certain amount for every honest taxpayer they can audit and screw out of a lttle extra money?
Do they get so much more for every group of patriots they schedule for audits and turn over to Holder for FBI visits, phone taps and other harassment?
The IRS has over 90,000 employees.
