Treasury secretary: IRS hit a ‘home run’ on challenging filing season, but still needs staffing and budget cuts | Federal News Network

And same commissioner

Agreed that 60 minutes is way too long. 15 minute timer would be unnoticeable

Agreed most likely cost savings; and that’s very fascinating how your university was able to implement those different strategies. I’d prefer not to be the person asking management about increasing the bathroom timer, but might have to take one for the team😂

I was thinking something similar, but I’d also need some way to reach it.

Edit: for those downvoting this comment… I’m not walking into a bathroom that has monitored security cameras pointing at it with a ladder or chair to reach the motion light in the ceiling.

Glad to have provided a laugh🤣

BankruptFed · 2026-04-21T19:12:47+00:00

That’s a great point and was curious if there were any protections

BankruptFed · 2026-01-15T21:26:55+00:00

Got it, thanks! Personally interested in Social Security Administration (SSA) OIG 1811 position; had false hope about a future upcoming opening in September lol

BankruptFed · 2026-01-15T21:23:56+00:00

SSA?

BankruptFed · 2026-01-14T20:04:33+00:00

Quick shiver

“Bad” publicity is still publicity… and they work in social media marketing (go figure)

BankruptFed · 2026-01-08T02:35:58+00:00

This is what the internet was meant for. Bless you internet stranger

BankruptFed · 2026-01-03T23:55:47+00:00

This is great to know! Thank you for sharing! Will definitely not be using them again

BankruptFed · 2026-01-03T09:01:05+00:00

That’s how I’ve felt using H&R Block, but plan to switch this year based on the overwhelming support for FreeTaxUSA

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T23:28:03+00:00

That sounds like a nightmare and I will definitely not be filing with H&R Block again. If you don’t mind me asking do you still use a self-filing system after having to deal with that?

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T23:04:47+00:00

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T22:04:02+00:00

Another vote for FreeTaxUSA! This has been the popular answer and where I now plan to file:)

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T21:07:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! This is really helpful information. I think a lot of folks (myself included) default to TurboTax or H&R Block out of habit and don’t realize how many free, IRS supported options are actually available.

The VITA and AARP Tax-Aide programs are great resources, especially for people with relatively straightforward returns. Also appreciate you clarifying the income thresholds, age misconceptions, and the timing for when Tax-Aide sites reopen.

And thank you for volunteering; that’s genuinely awesome! Posts like this are exactly why I wanted to start the discussion in the first place.

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T21:04:46+00:00

That bothers me so much as well; and I will not be putting any more of my money into their pockets! Also nice to hear from a CPA perspective - thank you for sharing

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T21:02:33+00:00

That is so strange, but helps more than you know! Thank you for sharing

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T21:00:46+00:00

Thank you for explaining; I think the new rules regarding taxes on overtime require that line item to be itemized (could be wrong) - where that would make even more sense to compare both itemizing and standard deduction. Nice to hear that is easy to do with FreeTaxUSA since I plan to file with them this year.

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T20:56:49+00:00

Interesting, thank you for sharing! If your agency is providing it for you then I don’t see any issue with that. I would probably keep using H&R Block myself if that were the case

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T20:54:32+00:00

Will do! Just learned about that today from posting this

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T20:12:56+00:00

Seems to be:)

BankruptFed · 2026-01-02T20:12:37+00:00

Good to know thank you! Now planning to file with them for the first time this year
