The Enrolled Agent ID card used to have “Special Agent US Treasury” on it. I’ve been retired many years, so been away from it. That was 30 years ago. Not sure about it now.
I was heavily involved when the organized crime task force worked with the IRS to audit Roma Foods and all their pizza shop customers on the east coast in the early 1980’s. That was a major CID project.
My CID friends have long since passed away and there is a new crew in there now that I’m unfamiliar with.
I’m also a CPA, and a few other certifications, having been the liason between the CPA’s and the IRS for the state society. Also taught tax update workshops for the University wth the IRS for many years. Many of my students at the University became agents so I stayed in touch for years. They are retired now too.
Happy to be away from it. The new agents have been recently hired and all chaos is about to begin. The older experienced agents have retired and the layer of agents to train the new hires are gone. The frustration in current agents is high, with most counting the days to retirement.
I grew up with guns everywhere. I remember when all the Five & Dime stores had trash cans of WWII surplus rifles beside the checkout register for $3 to $7 depending upon condition. No age requirements or ID’s required to purchase. Back then, loaded guns sitting around in the house were the norm. You learned to respect them and good gun safety.
Today’s younger generation doesn’t have the benefit of gun common sense. It’s no wonder accidents happen.
Yes, the Internal Revenue Service did buy nearly $700K in ammunition in early 2022
VERIFY viewer Ian asked if the IRS bought $700,000 in ammunition earlier this year. It’s true. It’s for armed agents who can carry weapons and ammunition.
