WASHINGTON, D.C.Ā ā After the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced it was ending āmostā unannounced visits by revenue officersĀ to homes and businesses, House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) issued the following statement:
āThereās little reason to cheer the IRSās recent announcement that it is supposedly āendingā unannounced visits by revenue officers ā the agency has yet to provide a full explanation for why it used such disturbing tactics to show up on peopleās doorstep and invade their privacy. Americans remain concerned about the agencyās political targeting and favoritism, regardless of whether they announce their visits or not. Tax enforcement that goes after families and small businesses, but tips off President Bidenās family, sounds like it has bigger problems in how it investigates tax crimes.ā
