IRS Responses to Freedom of Information Act Requests Found Inadequate

On Behalf of | Sep 16, 2016 | IRS |

On September 1, 2016, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) released its fiscal year 2016 statutory review of the Internal Revenue Service’s compliance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The review found that taxpayer rights may have been violated in 11% of the IRS’ responses, “because these information requests had some information erroneously withheld.” In 16% of cases, the IRS took too long (more than 30 business days) to provide information requestors with a status update.
