Dr. Coburn Asks GAO to Conduct Full Review of IRS' Non-Profit Oversight

In this letter to Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, Dr. Coburn asks the GAO for a full review of the IRS’ ability to monitor and oversee charitable organizations. Recent studies have shed doubt on the IRS' ability to appropriately monitor the operating standards of 501(c)(3) classified tax-exempt organizations. Dr. Coburn asks the GAO to describe the IRS efforts to ensure an appropriate selection process and investigation of these charitable entities.
