The agency with the most delinquent employees is the U.S. Postal Service. With more than 747,000 employees, the postal service is the largest employer in the federal government, but with a 4.16 percent delinquency rate, it is a full 1 percent above the average compliance rate this year.

The IRS would not provide comparable data for the general population. But a spokesperson for the IRS did supply the delinquency rate for IRS employees — less than 1 percent. The IRS is the only federal agency where an employee can be fired for not paying his taxes.

go figure..

I know how to solve this problem:

Just tell the IRS that all these tax evaders are a bunch of conservatives related to Rush Limbaugh, and they'll get to investigating it immediately.

Unless he's the boss( AKA Secretary of the Treasury ) in which case he's appears to be exempt

Yet, an admitted tax cheat is in charge of it..

Perhaps the IRS doesn’t go after them out of fear that they’ll “go postal” on ‘em....
