IRS.pdf)

 

The lawsuit was filed August 13 by Tax Analysts in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia after the IRS missed several deadlines to comply with the group’s May 21 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

 

The FOIA request asked for expedited access to “all training materials, including but not limited to, memoranda, staff manuals, Powerpoint presentations, videos and other materials that have been used since 1 January 2009 for the purpose of training personnel in the IRS exempt organizations determinations office in Cincinnati.”
