by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research<\/em><\/p>\n

it probably won\u2019t surprise the average tax practitioner to learn that in the american customer satisfaction index of federal agencies, the internal revenue service ranks dead last.<\/p>\n

it accomplished the same dubious rank in forrest research\u2019s u.s. customer experience index of 221 companies and federal agencies.<\/p>\n

two sad things about this:
\n
\nsad thing 1:<\/strong> the irs ranks first in the number of \u201ccustomers\u201d it deals with, touching virtually every american directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n

sad thing 2:<\/strong> though it\u2019s tempting, we really can\u2019t blame the people who work for the irs because there simply aren\u2019t enough of them to do the job.<\/p>\n

who to blame?<\/strong><\/p>\n

blame congress, the elected officials who set the federal budget. for the last 10 years, until just a few months ago, congress effectively reduced funding for the agency that brings in all the funding. despite growth in the economy, the population and the complexity of the tax code, current staff numbers are back where they were in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

inevitably, service \u2013 and the quality of service \u2013 has been declining.<\/p>\n
