Report Says IRS Managers Discouraged Examiners from Rooting Out Fraud
The Internal Revenue Service has been looking the other way instead of rooting out fraud when people apply for taxpayer identification numbers, Treasury Department investigators said, exposing a shortfall with both financial and national security implications.
According to a FederalNewsRadio.com report, a member of Congress who sits on the House's tax-writing committee responded to the report by calling on IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman to resign, claiming the IRS is helping illegal immigrants defraud the government.
