On April 25, the IRS received a message from the Supreme Court that the department isn’t used to hearing: “no, you can’t do that!”

Specifically, the Supreme Court ruled that the IRS could not extend the statute of limitations related to a certain “tax shelter” that many businesses and individuals pursued.

We know that the IRS will stop at nothing to collect money from taxpayers. That said, it is more than a little surprising to realize that they have taken to social media.

As OhMyGov.com explains:

“April 17 was the last day to file your federal tax return, and the Internal Revenue Service has taken to social media to spread the word.

 Rod Polston, Founder of The Law Office of Roderick H. Polston, an Oklahoma Tax Law Firm, warns readers that the IRS will do whatever is necessary to collect from taxpayers.

Norman, OK – May 16, 2012 - Rod Polston, Founder of The Law Office of Roderick H. Polston, an Oklahoma Tax Law Firm, recently published an article on his website (www.irshelpoklahoma.com) informing readers that the IRS has expanded into social media. The article, titled “You Can’t Escape the IRS—Even on Social Media” explains that IRS problems can be overcome—but only by taking action.

Rod Polston writes, “The IRS’ recent expansion into the world of social media may not make a practical difference in your life—but it certainly serves as a symbolic reminder that the agency will do whatever it deems necessary to take your money!”
