Don't Mess With Taxes

I write and blog about taxes, so it's no big surprise that some of those pieces focus on the Internal Revenue Service.

And given all that's going on right now in connection with the IRS, it's also no big surprise that the federal tax agency was the topic of three posts last week at my other tax blog.

That's right, instead of the ususal Tuesday and Thursday items, I took a look on last Monday at the fallout from the IRS focus on Tea Party groups that applied for tax-exempt status.

The next day was a reminder that IRS furloughs start on Friday, May 24.

And then I closed out the week over at Bankrate's Taxes Blog with a wrap-up of the IRS under siege.
