The IRS Thumbs their nose at the Senate Finance Committee's deadline for documents submission

The IRS will not deliver documents requested by top Senate Finance Committee members on the agency’s targeting of conservative groups by Friday, committee aides said. 

Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and the panel’s ranking member, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), had asked the IRS for a wide range of information in a May 20 letter – 41 questions in all.

The senators’ requests included details of any communication between the IRS and White House officials about the singling out of Tea Party groups seeking tax-exempt status. In the letter, Baucus and Hatch asked for the agency to answer by Friday. 

“It’s disappointing that the IRS failed to produce any of the documents requested by the committee,” the press offices for Baucus and Hatch said in a joint statement. “This is an agency that revolves around making the American taxpayer meet hard deadlines each and every year when they file their taxes, oftentimes penalizing those that are late.”
