Requiem for Departing IRS Commissioner Mark Everson
by Matt Lewis, 4/19/2007
While at his new job with the Red Cross, may he find redemption for the following:
- Implementing a program to privatize tax debt collection
- Privatizing regulations
- Offering early retirement to estate tax auditors
- Potentially politicizing tax collection (see OMB Watch's Advocacy Blog for more instances of potential politicization)
- Forcing TRAC to sue IRS to get tax data that shows how many corporate audits are cursory and unproductive
