“I come to the well in strong support of this conference report and the work performed by both Chambers on this hill. Mr. Speaker, there are many provisions that have been outlined, but in addition to the provisions, we can put faces and names on those families directly affected, sadly, by what must be termed as IRS abuse. I think of a man from Arizona, Bob Breauxcamp, and the story of his granddad who inadvertently sent a tax payment of $7,000 to the IRS when he only owed $700, how he was aged and infirmed, and upon his death then the IRS sought estate taxes from his daughter, Bob's mom, and she discovered the overpayment; how the IRS said, no, that money will not go back to his estate and how that overpayment, through an oversight in law and, yes, I dare say, abuse by the IRS was never returned to the Breauxcamp family. Mr. Speaker, today with passage of this conference report, we provide for a wide array of reforms. But to the aged and the infirm, to those who have been taken advantage of in this process, we become their advocates.”
