House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Abstract
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform present this investigation on allegations that the IRS inappropriately scrutinized certain applicants seeking tax-exempt status. On May 12, 2013, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration released a report that found that the Exempt Organizations division of the IRS inappropriately targeted Tea Party and other conservative applicants for tax-exempt status and subjected them to heightened scrutiny. Documents show that Lois G. Lerner, retired Director of IRS Exempt Organizations, was involved in subjecting these applicants to this scrutiny. Through e-mails, documents, and the testimony of other IRS officials, the committee has discovered Lois Lerner's role in the IRS targeting scandal. The report states that the public needs a full accounting of what occurred and who was involved to ensure officials are never again in a position to abuse the public trust again.
