Budget squeeze hurts IRS ability to help taxpayers
A government watchdog warns Congress shortchanges the IRS, widening its workload versus resources. The annual report cites 1.1 million returns held for fraud review, a 72 percent rise, and notes reliance on software raising errors and reducing personal contact.
