The IRS Scandal, Day 198

Global Dispatch: IRS Scandal Leaves Non-Profit Division With a Staff Which Has ‘Essentially No Tax Administration Experience’:

The greatest fallout from the IRS scandal may be the quality of staff left behind after the purge which has occurred at the non-profit wing of the agency.

Bloomberg reports that sources say they see ”heightened difficulties for tax preparers dealing with the agency, according to a lawyer who specializes in tax-exemption issues.”

The news agency cites comments by Marcus Owens, a tax lawyer and former head of the IRS Exempt Organizations Division, at a November 15 conference held in Washington by two legal organizations.
