IRS Outsourcing

In a post on Argmax the author described the current situation in which the IRS outsources debt collection. Within the next two weeks the IRS will turn over the tax information for over 12000 individuals who owe $25000 or less in tax debt. The IRS will still employ their own agents to collect larger debts, but they say that outsourcing the smaller debts to private sector companies is necessary because of constraints imposed by congress. Congress has told the IRS that they can not hire any new employees, which is why they are forced to outsource. They say that this will be much more expensive than using in house debt collectors.

The company that the IRS has hired to do most of the debt collection is the law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson. This firm has previously been under investigation for their collections practices. It is curious why the IRS would hire a company with a less than perfect track record. It is possible that they are having the word done at a low price due to so type of plea bargain or agreement resulting from the investigation. The most likely explanation for the outsourcing is that it is temporary. The immediate cost of hiring an outside firm is greater in the beginning, but these employees will only be paid until the debts are collected. If the IRS were to hire more employees they would have to keep them permanently and pay them even after the debts were all collected. The current program implemented by the IRS seems like an economically prudent solution.

I drop a comment each time I like a article on a site or I have something to valuable to
contribute to the discussion. Usually it's triggered by the sincerness communicated in the post I browsed. And after this article "IRS Outsourcing". I was excited enough to drop a comment ;-) I actually do have a few questions for you if it's allright.
Is it only me or do some of these comments come across as if they are left by brain dead visitors?
:-P And, if you are posting on additional social sites, I'd like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you make a list every one of your community pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

helpful information And don't forget why you're taking out the insurance in the first place - a high level of cover for vets' bills is probably more important than a host of minor fringe benefits. Thinking about it, getting a pet insurance policy definitely would have its pros and cons.

Guaranteed installment agreement. those that owe but $10k are ready to cash in of this agency payment set up. this kind of agreement is typically paid over the course of 3 years or less. this is often a really straightforward installment agreement to qualify for, that is why it's referred as Guaranteed.
