WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of federal workers and retirees who owed delinquent income taxes jumped by nearly 12 percent in 2011, the Internal Revenue Service said Friday.
Nearly 312,000 federal workers and retirees owed more than $3.5 billion in back taxes as of Sept. 30, 2011, the agency said. The year before, about 279,000 workers and retirees owed $3.4 billion.
Overall, the 9.8 million workers included in the data had a delinquency rate of 3.2 percent. That's better than the general public. The IRS says the delinquency rate for the general public was 8.2 percent.

Get a grip people and consider the possibility that sometimes the IRS says people owe money when in fact they don't. Next time they pull that with you, all you have to do is prove they're wrong by showing them your receipts etc. Sometimes they refuse to even look and you have to show your records in court.
Always remember that not everything that we hear from the Federal Government is true.
The newspaper that published the names of gun owners, should publish ALL their names & addresses.
Time for another new law for federal workers: “Pay your taxes or LOOSE your job”. Does a couple things. Gets new people in those career long jobs, dumps the dead beats, (win/win there), stimulates the economy by gaining “new revenue” (as Odumbo wants), and on and on........
Might be something to consider.
I agree but no deals! Pay your taxes in FULL or.....
