Q: According to Federal Workforce News, over 571,000 federal employees owe $6.3 billion in taxes. Why are they allowed to get away with this? — Carl from Texas

A: For context, a Treasury Inspector General report from May found that more than 571,000 current and retired federal employees owed roughly $6.3 billion in unpaid taxes, a 32 percent increase since 2021. About 50,000 current federal employees haven't filed a tax return in at least two years.

The IRS has done remarkably little to recover the money, relying largely on delinquency notices that have brought in just $58 million, less than 1 percent of what's owed. The unit responsible for pursuing delinquent federal employees was also cut in half last year, while the IRS' wage-garnishment program has largely gone unused for this group.

Federal law technically gives these employees no special protection, and the IRS blames pandemic-era backlogs and staffing cuts. But when federal employees can accumulate billions in unpaid taxes with so little enforcement, while the average American citizen would get the book thrown at them, it certainly looks like a two-tiered system.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) opened an investigation into this in June, so we'll see what comes of it. I'd have my doubts any progress will be made, though.
