Yeah. well I won't defame any prominent people, but let's just say that some tax cheats had thought they could be top level executives in the IRS until they found about the requirement to formally request an audit themselves. Amazing how many otherwise qualified candidates suddenly discovered "personal reasons" to withdraw their applications. I always thought it was strange that the IRS Commissioner and Chief Counsel, the two presidential appointments had to be fully tax compliant (not belated nor retroactive) but no such requirement for their ultimate boss the Secretary of the Treasury.
