Internal Revenue Service - IRS

IRS might be the three most hated letters in the alphabet.

Well, maybe after DMV, PMS, and, uh...STD.

The IRS is the Internal Revenue Service. They’re internal, i.e. inside the government.They’re in charge of collecting revenue, a.k.a. they take money from your pocket in the form of taxes and deliver it to Uncle Sam…and they, uh, service you. And it doesn’t feel good.

So yeah, these are the guys from the U.S. Treasury Department who check to make sure you filled out your income tax forms correctly, and submitted the proper amount. And if you screwed up in any way, they will let you know about it. In the form of angry letters, phone calls, knocks on your front door, rocks through your back window. Whatever it takes to get you to pay up.

Or they can do you even worse and audit you. With an audit, the IRS will request extensive and very specific information and records from you, forcing you to spend hours upon hours at your Public Storage unit, digging through boxes you hoped and prayed you’d never see again.

After the third solid week of having your financial history poked and prodded like it’s getting a prostate exam, you, uh…might actually be ready and willing to trade it in for one of those STDs.
