Opinion Why does the IRS need $80 billion? Just look at its cafeteria. It is quite graphic. Should it be added to the article? -- Error (talk) 12:30, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Name?

Is the official name now IRS rather than Internal Revenue Service in the same way that IBM is no longer International Business Machines? I looked on their website and could find no reference to Internal Revenue Service. Cross Reference (talk) 14:49, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at this https://www.usa.gov/agencies/internal-revenue-service, the name is here in full. Guylaen (talk) 07:42, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous tax unit

Hey there,

There is an historical unit of the IRS that does not have any presence on wikipedia, called the "Miscellaneous Tax Unit."

Check this document https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/43dbfuller.pdf and search for the term.

I discovered this unit when I was building the page for the Miscellaneous Division (which I think I have to transform into a disambiguation page, because IRS was not the only service with a Miscellaneous Division).

Do not confuse the two - the Miscellaneous Division eventually wound up inside of the Miscellaneous Tax Unit, but they're not the same thing. Guylaen (talk) 07:47, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
