Subject: SLS: IRS critic gets audit (fwd)

<snip>
>
>Inside the Beltway Political tidbits and other
>shenanigans from around the nation's capital
>
>By John McCaslin THE WASHINGTON TIMES
>
>Call it ironic
>
> . . . . Less than two weeks ago, Internal
>Revenue Service historian-turned-whistleblower
>Shelley L. Davis, author of "Unbridled Power: Inside
>the Secret Culture of the IRS," testified before the
>Senate Finance Committee on IRS corruption and
>cruelty.
>
> . . . . Wouldn't you know that yesterday, Miss
>Davis opened her mailbox in Northern Virginia "and,
>guess what, in the mail was an audit notice from the
>IRS!"
>
> . . . . "It was addressed to my 'significant
>other,'" she tells Inside the Beltway of her household
>companion, with whom she's happily "avoiding the
>marriage tax."
>
> . . . . "But I have been saying from the
>outset that when they go after me they're going to go
>after Ed first because of our joint assets," Miss Davis
>adds.
>
> . . . . The IRS audit notice, pertaining to 1995's
>tax return, requests additional payment of nearly
>$5,000, of which $614 is interest. Upon reading the
>notice, Miss Davis telephoned the IRS number listed on
>the four-page form to inquire further.
>
> . . . . "A nice
>woman answered," she says. "I told her who I was, the
>title of my book, and she actually said this could be a
>way [by the IRS] to get at your return.
> . . . . "She also
>said, 'I think I'll go out and buy your book.'" . . . .
>Hired by the IRS in 1988 to write an institutional
>history, Miss Davis ended up writing instead about
>unethical IRS bureaucrats.
>
> . . . . In the book's wake,
>the author has been called to testify several times on
>Capitol Hill, including before the National Commission
>on Restructuring the Internal Revenue Service, an
>18-member panel co-chaired by Sen. Bob Kerrey,
>Nebraska Democrat, and Rep. Rob Portman, Ohio
>Republican.
>
>. . . . The commission contacted Miss
>Davis' publisher, Harper Business, requesting that 20
>copies of "Unbridled Power" be sent to Washington in
>advance of one hearing.
