IRS and Job Manager ***WALKTHROUGH***
Taxes Hold'em Pt. 1
Auto starts
Homer: The best part of rebuilding Springfield is that it makes me proud of my accomplishments.
Homer: On second thought, the best part of rebuilding Springfield is all the money I'm collecting.

Task: Make Homer Collect Income by Hardly Working
Time: 1h
Location: Simpson House
Task: Collect Income from Buildings
Taxes Hold'em Pt. 2
Homer starts
Homer: Earning money is a lot harder now that Springfield is so big, and everything is so expensive!
Lisa: It's called inflation. The more money you create out of thin air, the more expensive things will get.
Homer: I don't really have THAT much money though, see...
Task: Make Homer Count His Money
Time: 1h
Location: Simpson House
Taxes Hold'em Pt. 3
Homer starts
Homer: Okay, okay. Maybe I have SOME money. Is that such a crime?
Agent Johnson: Actually, Mr. Simpson. Not paying taxes on your income is a very serious crime.
Agent Johnson: I'm Agent Johnson of the IRS, and you're going to tell me who else in town has been evading their taxes.
Homer: Look, I get it. You're playing good cop, bad cop. I'd like to speak to the good cop, please.
Agent Johnson: That's cute. I am the good cop.
Homer: *whimper*
Task: Make Homer Snitch on Tax Evaders
Time: 1h
Location: Simpson House
Agent Johnson: So what you're saying is that everyone in Springfield hasn't paid any taxes since the town was destroyed?
Agent Johnson: Even for a member of the IRS that's too much paperwork.
Agent Johnson: I suppose since nobody can even tell me what state we're in I have no choice but to let it slide.
Taxes Hold'em Pt. 4
Homer starts
Homer: So, Agent Johnson. What are you going to do now that the IRS is letting everyone in town evade their taxes?
Agent Johnson: Our branch has to do something, and collecting money is all we know. Isn't there any use for that in this town?
Homer: Actually...

Task: Build the IRS
Taxes Hold'em Pt. 5
Auto starts
Agent Johnson: Okay, we've set up our new PERSONAL tax collection service
Agent Johnson: We've started with the base service, which is free of charge.
Homer: Yeah, free, right. I know how things work in this game.
Agent Johnson: Come on, it's free! Give it a try. It will allow you to collect your income in a more efficient, a.k.a. lazier way.
System Message: Tap on buildings and characters to collect in a radius around them. Upgrade the IRS to increase the area!
Task: Collect Income Using the IRS
Taxes Hold'em Pt. 6
Auto starts
Homer: You really did make it easier. Now I can collect taxes while sitting on my couch with a beer in one hand, a sandwich in the other, another beer balanced on my belly, and in this cup holder... a second sandwich.
Agent Johnson: I'm afraid to ask what you used to collect taxes with.
Homer: Years of working at the power plant has left me with a pretty useful vestigial tail.
Homer: And a pretty useless case of irreversible radiation poisoning.
Homer: So... can you make that circle thing even bigger so I can collect more money, in less time?
Agent Johnson: Of course! You just need to upgrade to our Deluxe or Mega-Lazy service.
Agent Johnson: Every time you do we'll make it even easier for you to collect your income.
Homer: So to do less work collecting money, I need to earn a bunch of money first by working?
Agent Johnson: Exactly. Let me give you a little lesson in economics.
System Message: Upgrade the IRS to increase the Tax Collection Radius and save yourself more tapping!
Task: Uprade the IRS to Level 2
After levelling it up to Level 9:
Homer: This is where all my taxes go? To build the IRS a nicer building?
Homer: I wanted it to go to increased military spending.
Between Jobs Pt. 1
After completing Weekend Dad Pt. 16
Kirk starts
Unemployment Agent: ID and social security number please.
Kirk: I've actually got both, now that the criminal who stole my identity gave them back.
Unemployment Agent: Oh! Mr. Van Houten. You can just skip the line thanks to your frequent visitor status.
Kirk: That's ok. When you've got nothing but time on your hands, waiting in line is like a vacation with purpose.
Unemployment Agent: That's the saddest thing I've ever heard and I work at the unemployment office. And moonlight at the suicide hotline.
Kirk: You do? Tell Gary I said hello! And I'll be speaking with him soon!
Unemployment Agent: So do you want a job? I've got chicken sexer, roadkill cleaner, virtual gold farmer-
Kirk: Right now I was kind of just hoping for a hug.
Gil: If he isn't taking it, I'll take that virtual gold farmer job. Maybe then ol' Gil's virtual wife will stay faithful.
Squeaky Voice Teen: I'll take the roadkill cleaning job. After working at Krusty Burger, it'll be nice to see where our meat comes from.
Kirk: Wow, I didn't realize that I wasn't the only unemployed loser out there. Why is all of Springfield looking for a job?
Homer: Some people are just too lazy to tap a few buttons. Not me -- I trained a monkey to push buttons for me!
Homer: He's my boss now.
System Message: Tap the Office of Unemployment to access the shiny new Job Manager. Use the Send All button to send all the available characters on jobs!
Task: Send All Characters on 60m Jobs
Time: 1h
Between Jobs Pt. 2
Kirk starts
Kirk: I'm used to paying for a lot of things: hair plugs, girdles for men, my child's love. But did I just pay to go on a job?
Unemployment Agent: Oh you actually noticed...
Unemployment Agent: Sending someone on a job means a lot of paperwork, which we pay people to do, but then there's paperwork for hiring them, and you see how this goes.
Unemployment Agent: So we deduct a portion of your income to pay for our administrative fees. It doesn't cost you anything…except for money.
Task: Send All Characters on 4h Jobs
