Report Says Former IRS Employees--Think Lois Lerner--Can Still Peruse Your Tax Returns
March 24, 2015
Could Lois Lerner still take a look at your tax returns on IRS computers? It sounds preposterous, but a new watchdog report saysformer IRS employees still have access to IRS computer systems long after they have no official business with the information. The report is by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. The GAO investigates how the federal government spends taxpayer dollars. In the case of IRS security, the report says not well.
