House Appropriations Committee hears from IRS Commissioner

This morning the House Appropriations Committee held a hearing on the Internal Revenue Service through the Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee. Newly appointed Commissioner, Douglass Shulman and Deputy IRS Commissioner for Services and Enforcement Linda Stiff were on hand. Due to only being on the job for about three weeks, Shulman wasn’t able to answer a number of questions but was committed to get back to the committee members. He was questioned on the rebate program and the services the IRS provides to make filing tax returns simple for Americans.
