WASHINGTON – The House Ways and Means Committee, under a new Republican majority, has established an online form to assist Internal Revenue Service (IRS) personnel who wish to submit information confidentially to the Committee regarding any inappropriate behavior or mishandling of taxpayer information at the agency.
Committee Chairman Jason Smith also sent a letter to Acting IRS Commissioner Douglas O’Donnell and all IRS employees informing them of the creation of this direct line of communication between agency personnel and the Committee.
Smith said the IRS has a disturbing track record of violating taxpayers trust and they are demanding accountability. By providing IRS personnel with a safe, secure, and confidential way to provide information that might be vital to protecting taxpayers, the Ways and Means Committee is delivering on its commitment to hold government accountable
