As a taxpayer, I am in complete agreement with the “extra scrutiny” that the Internal Revenue Service has taken regarding groups that apply for tax-exempt status. And especially am I pleased that they are going after those that would masquerade as social agencies of some sort, rather than political action groups, spending their money to influence voters.
This is most apparent when they include “tea party and conservative groups” as M.D. Harmon notes in his column Feb. 7 (“Trust in the Internal Revenue Service has justifiably declined”).
Perhaps Mr. Harmon does not believe in honest representation and is willing to permit such duplicity.
I take exception and want some honesty when such groups present themselves to the IRS for special tax treatment. They are playing with my tax dollars!
