Shocker: IRS Fails To Meet Disclosure Deadline To Produce Documents Requested By Senate So will anyone actually hold them to account? Via NRO: The IRS will not meet the deadline (today) for responding to a series of questions from the Senate Finance Committee regarding the agency’s targeting of conservative political groups. In a joint statement, committee chairman Max Baucus (D., Mont.) and ranking member Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) said it was “disappointing that the IRS failed to produce any of the documents requested by the Committee,” and noted the irony and hypocrisy of the nation’s tax-collecting agency refusing to meet a deadline for producing requested information. “This is an agency that revolves around making the American taxpayer meet hard deadlines each and every year when they file their taxes, oftentimes penalizing those that are late,” the senators said. “The IRS needs to do much better.” The IRS said it was “moving aggresively and taking the data requests very seriously.” Meanwhile, House GOP investigators have identified 88 IRS employees who may have documents relating to the targeting scandal.
Former IRS Chief Doug Shulman’s Wife Works For Liberal Group “Fighting For Change”… Just another coincidence. Via Daily Caller: Former Internal Revenue Service commissioner Douglas H. Shulman, a frequent White House guest during the period when the IRS was targeting conservative nonprofits, is married to the senior program advisor for Public Campaign, an “organization dedicated to sweeping campaign reform that aims to dramatically reduce the role of big special interest money in American politics.” The IRS is under fire for improperly scrutinizing the tax-exempt nonprofit status of conservative groups between 2010 and 2012, demanding conservative training materials, personal information on conservative college interns and even the content of religious groups’ prayers. IRS supporters have defended the beleaguered agency by railing against outside spending and special interest money supposedly pumped into the 2012 campaign by conservative benefactors. One of those defenders is the group of which Shulman’s spouse is an executive. Shulman’s wife Susan L. Anderson is the senior program advisor for the Washington-based nonprofit organization Public Campaign, which claims that it “is laying the foundation for reform by working with a broad range of organizations, including local community groups, around the country that are fighting for change and national organizations whose members are not fairly represented under the current campaign finance system.” http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/31/former-irs-commissioner-shulmans-wife-works-for-liberal-group-fighting-open-campaign-spending/
Democrats Unable To Produce A Single Liberal Targeted By IRS For Congressional Hearing… They would have had better luck trying to find the Tooth Fairy. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/K3-eemsoOoY?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0"></iframe>
IRS Employees: Washington IRS Official Carter Hull Oversaw Targeting Of Conservative Groups… Obama’s “rogue employees”excuse continues to crumble. Via Daily Caller: A Washington IRS attorney named Carter Hull closely oversaw the targeting of conservative nonprofit groups and suggested questions that IRS employees could ask of conservative and Tea Party groups applying for tax-exempt nonprofit status, according to interviews that two IRS employees gave with congressional investigators. “I was essentially a front person, because I had no autonomy or no authority to act on [applications] without Carter Hull’s influence or input,” said Elizabeth Hofacre, an employee of the Cincinnati IRS office, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal. Hofacre’s office, which oversaw tax-exempt applications, reportedly requested help from the agency’s Exempt Organizations Technical unit in Washington, D.C. in 2010 to deal with an influx of new applications from Tea Party groups. http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/05/irs-employees-washington-irs-official-carter-hull-oversaw-targeting-of-conservative-groups/
IRS Official Sarah Hall Ingram Who Headed Division Targeting Conservatives Recorded 165 White House Visits… Between Ingram and former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman they visited the White House over 300 times… and nobody said anything about what was going on in the tax-exempt division (that Ingram headed)? Via Daily Caller: Sarah Hall Ingram, the IRS official currently in charge of overseeing the agency’s implementation of Obamacare, has logged 165 recorded visits to the White House 165 times since 2011, according to an analysis of White House visitor records compiled by the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity. Ingram headed the IRS’ tax-exempt division in 2010 when the scandal-ridden agency began improperly targeting the tax-exempt nonprofit status of conservative groups. Despite logging 165 visits, Ingram’s meetings never overlapped with those of former IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman, who, as The Daily Caller reported, has appeared in the White House visitor logs 157 times since September 15, 2009. [...] Ingram visited with President Obama six times, according to White House visitor logs. All of Ingram’s 165 recorded visits involved meetings with White House staff. Considering that Ingram and Shulman never visited the White House together, the two IRS officials have been responsible for more than 300 public visits since the beginning of the Obama administration. http://dailycaller.com/2013/06/05/irs-official-sarah-hall-ingram-recorded-165-white-house-visits-never-overlapped-with-shulman/
First let's start referring to them as the IRSS. Does anyone not think that these law breakers at the IRSS didn't disclose the contents of Romney's tax returns? It was with that information that the scum bag Harry Reid tried to force Romney to release more of his returns. These pricks are worse than the Nixon group. The only difference is that Nixon didn't tell his followers that his would be the most transparent administration ever.
I got the news from my accountant that my IRS Audit resulted in no change. I asked him if it was the immaculate and perfectly organized records that I keep (I actually do) that was the topper. He said no that when he mentioned that I was a ND fan she got up and said I've suffered enough and closed the audit! ps..i really was audited....again. ...bastards!

IRS Sent Almost 24,000 Refunds Worth Combined $46 Million To “Unauthorized” Alien Workers All At Same Address In Atlanta, GA Words fail. Via Fox Nation: The Internal Revenue Service sent 23,994 tax refunds worth a combined $46,378,040 to “unauthorized” alien workers who all used the same address in Atlanta, Ga., in 2011, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA). That was not the only Atlanta address theoretically occupied by thousands of “unauthorized” alien workers receiving millions in federal tax refunds in 2011. In fact, according to a TIGTA audit report published last year, four of the top ten addresses to which the IRS sent thousands of tax refunds to “unauthorized” aliens were in Atlanta. The IRS sent 11,284 refunds worth a combined $2,164,976 to unauthorized alien workers at a second Atlanta address; 3,608 worth $2,691,448 to a third; and 2,386 worth $1,232,943 to a fourth.
IRS Chief Counsel Who Helped Target Conservative Groups A Big Donor And Loyal Democrat… Via Weekly Standard: As witnesses have testified to the House Ways and Means Committee, the chief counsel for the Internal Revenue Service may have played a role in the IRS’s practice of reserving special scrutiny for Tea Party and other conservative political groups. William Wilkins, chief counsel and one of two political appointees at the IRS, was “closely involved in some of the applications” for tax-exempt status, according to a press release from the committee. But who is William Wilkins? According to the 2009 announcement of his appointment to the IRS, Wilkins was a registered lobbyist with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr since 1988. At WilmerHale (the firm’s new name after 2003), he was a part of the Tax Practice Group, where he practiced a wide range of tax law services, including “counseling nonprofit organizations, business entities, and investment funds on tax compliance, business transactions, and government investigations.” Before his lobbying career, Wilkins was staff counsel for the Democratic side of the Senate Finance committee, from 1981 to 1988. As Carol Platt Lebieu points out, there are some questions about how the White House was left in the dark about the IRS’s probing of conservative groups when its own appointeee appears to have known about the investigations. http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/william-wilkins-irs-chief-counsel-and-loyal-democrat_740006.html
Under the Obama administration our government has become totally corrupt. We are like some kind of third world, tinpot dictatorship.
