On the recordFebruary 12, 1998
just when we thought things could not get worse at the IRS, they have. I picked up this Washington Post article last week. The title is ``IRS Goof Creates Returns That Keep Returning.'' At first I thought it was a joke, but then I learned that the IRS did make, in fact, a huge goof, about a million packets of 1040 forms sent out to the taxpayers had preprinted address labels. That is not going to do anyone any favors. The famous world class computer system over at the IRS will read the bar code on the preprinted label and, one might ask, will it then send it to the proper location for processing? No, sir. It will not. It will send the form right back to you. In fact, we can even imagine the making of an infinite loop, with our 1040s just making around-the-world tours, back and forth between our houses and the IRS. Mr. Speaker, the IRS is still out of control. It is enough. It is time for some radical reform at the IRS.
