IRS Expansion Debate Heating Up - Pursuit of Misclassified Employees
As the IRS has reported asking for significant funds to increase their agents in an effort to go after several new revenue opportunites, including misclassified 
workers. The tensions between parties has heated up again on Capitol Hill over actual numbers and costs. Here is an excerpt from an article titled, "Debate brews over expansion of Internal Revenue Service's workforce". click for full article
Republicans lawmakers are warning the law would put as many as 16,000 new Internal Revenue Service agents and workers on the streets. They claim Democrats tucked dozens of new departments and boards into the bill. And Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) predicts a massive expansion of the federal work force.
“There are going to be tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, before this is all over,” DeMint told POLITICO. “We are going to be looking for the real truth of what this means. Just on something as simple as having 16,000 IRS agents chasing them around, that is going to open a lot of eyes.”
There’s just one problem: Experts say the figures are highly speculative.
Administration aides, who were cognizant that creating massive new bureaucracies would be bad politics, have sought to minimize the potential for a major expansion, sources said.
But the Obama administration has done little to quiet this tempest, as the key players who will implement the new law have provided few specifics on how it may increase the federal payroll.
With the loss by the Republican's on the Obama Healthcare Bill you can bet this will be one of their next stands against Obama and the Democratic Party. Misclassification of employees will continue to be at the forefront of human resource management services.
