The IRS just spent it to send you a letter stating what you VERY likely already know in announcing that your stimulus is on the way and that you have to file an income tax return.

Just to throw out some ideas on productive uses of such a chunk of change.
– Could that “announcement money” be used to help in cities that have high populations of poor and homeless?
– Could that “announcement money” be used to help in cities that still have significant damage from natural disasters?
Frankly, it’s a lot of money, but not enough to make any dent in the infrastructure issues that came to mind. But humanitarian aide as cited above seemed to be the most likely better use.
Looks like Linda Stiff is serving as acting Commissioner at the IRS and that Henry Paulson is head at the Department of Treasury that the IRS is under. It’s not clear who/what group was immediately responsible for this spending decision.
Perhaps you’d like to contact your senator or house representative for your state to let them know how you appreciated the use of this public tax money.

Im not even gonna ask how much is being spent to run that commercial about TV’s not working without a converter box or replacement after Feb 2009. And how could we better use that money?
