    They are not a for-profit organization. They get however much Congress gives them and that’s it.

      IRS collects taxes, taxes go to the government, to be distributed out for all the various governing organizations and government projects and such.

      A portion of that goes right back to the IRS to pay the employees, otherwise I’m pretty sure nobody would even go to work for the IRS. Non-profit doesn’t mean they work for free ya know.

      Now you’d figure that if congress wanted to rake in more tax money, they’d ya know, like actually want to fund the IRS a bit more and want to tax the rich.
