At the IRS, $2.8 million worth of bonuses went to employees disciplined for misconduct. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, the Inspector General’s office at the IRS, says the payments are legal, but the payments look like they go against the IRS mission to ensure integrity in tax administration.
