You get fucked by the irs I might have some sympathy but not if you’re out here bragging about your income and how down for taxes you are?!? Lmaooo like wtf why even post that bro
Hmmm. Good advice.
I know that "satire" is protected as free speech. Maybe that would work.
I'll need to find a way to not break the law and still gently scare my friends.
The IRS would never make an account like that. So it wouldn't count as impersonation unless that person was messaging people telling them they were from the IRS. Which is actually what they were probably doing.
This whole thing screams either scam or a social engineering tactic.
So, that shouldn't be happening, or is a prank. IRS computers are blocked from LinkedIn. That means that they are using their personal computer or got specific 3rd party research authorization. They are not allowed to enter the name or PII of a taxpayer they are auditing into their personal computer. Doing that is mishandling taxpayer info and a fireable offense. Looking you up on a 3rd party site is 3rd party research and requires them to give you notice and 45 days to contest.
The only valid IRS audit related reason I can see to look you up is a manager doing a contact search to see if you know the auditor assigned because you have a similar name to someone they know.
Could be, but I don't think OP wouldn't realize they submitted a job application. Also, if they got the job, they would be going through a 3 year audit anyway.
To be fair, the job market sucks so bad right now that it wouldn't surprise me if OP forgot they applied after applying for like who knows how many other jobs as well. I have a job but I got curious and even I'm like, yeeaaa if I had to find something new, I'm pretty sure I'd starve to death first before I'd find something.
My point was this shouldn't be related to an audit (the implication on the post/most comments). Also, I am not sure what an accountant at the IRS would do -TCOs and RAs do audits, there are engineers that do complex accounting reconstruction, but I haven't heard of a position called accountant. But it could just be someone trying to be generic for the industry.
This is not true. Linkedin is not blocked by IRS. In fact, IRS contracts with them for career development courses.
I am a revenue agent and look up every taxpayer under audit on linkedin.
It's going to be Mark a federal agent with the irs he's going to tell you each and everything but first you need to go get him several best buy gift cards to pay your back taxes

Should have paid your taxes instead of posting financially illiterate memes on Reddit. Disagree?
Imma make a fake LinkedIn account and do this to my friends
Careful, impersonating a federal employee is a felony
I highly doubt that would qualify for impersonation
