FOIA Requests of IRS Uncompliant : Release Would Compromise Agenda

The IRS will not now or anytime in the future perform any internal audits to solve a problem that they necessary to their agenda of using this agency to attack and destroy any opposition to the progressive socialist liberal agenda of getting and keeping power.

Releasing information to the general public about their activates under the Freedom of information Act(FOIA) is not going to happen as this would expose their illegal and unconstitutional operations. This information would compromise the ideology that requires secrecy to accomplish their specific goals of taking total control of all aspects of government, even at taxpayer expense.

That the IRS is releasing most of the requested information under the FOIA, as this article states, is hard to believe. It's not in the best interest of the IRS to do anything that the general public wants them to do. And releasing information that would compromise their agenda is a nonstarter.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRA) is responsible under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Privacy Act of 1975 and the Internal Revenue Code Section 6103 to respond to information requests from taxpayers, process requests in a timely manner, and guard against incorrect releasing sensitive taxpayer information. However,

• The Office of the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) found that 12.3 percent of the requests the IRS had improperly withheld information.
• The number of backlogged information request cases increased for the second year in a row, but overall the responses to FOIA/Privacy Act information requests were handled in a timely manner.
• In 4.6 percent of information requests, IRA disclosure specialists disclosed sensitive taxpayer information mistakenly.

Recommendations from the TIGTA included the development and implementation of a plan to review information requests for quality, in addition to a new protocol for timeliness regarding information requests and implementation of new procedures for processing requests to decreases the amount of backlogged cases.

The IRS agreed in part to the recommendation to periodically review the quality of information requests and plans to implement appropriate corrective actions to address the other concerns.
