On the recordApril 9, 2002
Madam Speaker, the Taxpayer Protection and IRS Accountability Act of 2002 might be called modest, but if one looks at the particular provisions, I think for those individuals engaged with the Internal Revenue Service, I think they might find them relatively important. The information is an examination of 501(c)(3) groups and whether they would refuse, or whether there was a revocation or whether there was a tax deficiency reported at the Federal level, that information to be shared at the State level. As my colleagues might imagine, how unseemly as it might be, there are individuals and groups who tried to take advantage of the disaster because of the events of September 11. There are individuals or groups who seek to take advantage of the charitable nature of Americans and New Yorkers as well.
