schema:text	FACT CHECK: Did the IRS Endorse Kamala Harris? Posts being circulated on social media claim that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has formally endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The IRS has endorsed Kamaaaala! Hmmmmm🤔I’m thinking this isn’t a good thing. You? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/msJ8M6y5Q0 — 🇺🇸Kimmie🇺🇸 (@kimmagagal2) September 21, 2024 Verdict: Misleading The IRS cannot endorse any presidential candidate. A union representing IRS workers did endorse Harris, but is not connected to the agency. Fact Check: Recent polls gauging support in the 2024 presidential election appear to show momentum for former President Donald Trump, but the race overall remains too close to call, according to NPR. A recent NBC News poll showed the race in a virtual “dead heat.” There are many posts being shared on social media claiming that the IRS has given their endorsement to Vice President Harris. “The IRS has endorsed Kamaaaala! Hmmmmm,” open post’s caption reads. (RELATED: Did Howard Stern Lose Nearly A Million Subscribers Following Kamala Harris Interview?) The IRS organization themselves did not endorse anybody, however, their official employee union did endorse Harris/Walz. The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) represents the IRS workforce, but is not directly affiliated with the IRS or any government agency. They made the announcement on September 18th, and have endorsed Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden in past elections. In an email to Reuters, NTEU President Doreen Greenwald said, “Our endorsement does not represent the agency, and our union does not represent agency leadership, agency supervisors or agency managers.” The IRS itself is forbidden by law to endorse any particular candidate. Because they are considered part of the Executive Branch, IRS employees are only allowed to give opinions or campaign for an individual candidate in a private capacity. They are not allowed to use their official capacity to endorse any particular candidate, but their union is under no such limitations. Check Your Fact was unable to find any official statements from the IRS on their official website or social media accounts.
