Smith: Ending Unannounced Visits by IRS Agents Hardly Addresses Problems with IRS Political Targeting and Favoritism

Date:

WASHINGTON, D.C.Ā ā€“ After the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced it was ending ā€œmostā€ unannounced visits by revenue officersĀ to homes and businesses, House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith (MO-08) issued the following statement:

ā€œThereā€™s little reason to cheer the IRSā€™s recent announcement that it is supposedly ā€˜endingā€™ 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 peopleā€™s doorstep and invade their privacy. Americans remain concerned about the agencyā€™s 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 Bidenā€™s family, sounds like it has bigger problems in how it investigates tax crimes.ā€
