I work for an accounting agency. I can't really say details - confidentiality and all that - but I will say that IRS agents can and sometimes do carry guns ... you really don't want to get on their bad side.

Do you have a sense of how common not paying or not paying the full amount is?

Personally, since I've been married we've screwed up in underpayment once and in overpayment once. Neither was deliberate. But we're paying back taxes, interest and penalties for the underpayment which for us are pretty substantial. I love the idea of the "Rangel Rule," but I don't think it works as a systematic way of addressing the issue.

No, not really. I don't think that our clients are at all representative of the general US population.

Apparently its not that big a deal anymore since it is okay for the Secretary of the Treasury to do it!

He paid back though. (But, then again, no penalties that I know of.)

I work in accounting and I can't say that I blame them.

ETA: If you are going to be sec. of commerence or sec. of the treasury though, everything should be in order

I have absolutely no faith in Obama's cabinet.
