Special IRS Division Planned To Oversee Tax-Exempt Agencies
Washington AP The Internal Revenue Service plans a division of specially trained agents to audit foundations and other tax exempt groups. The move, supported by the House Ways and Means Committee as tax reform proceeds, aims to curb abuses and may involve an advisory commission. The IRS cited 2,520 audits of private foundations in 1968 and 1,610 in the first nine months of the next year, with nine revocations. A larger number of foundations is estimated at over 30,000 nationwide.
