Foxx Votes to Protect Taxpayers, Renews Call to Simplify Tax Code
Statement
Issues: Taxes
As Americans face the annual deadline to file their tax returns, Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., today praised passage of several pieces of legislation designed to protect hardworking taxpayers and rein in IRS abuse.
"Taxpayers shudder at the mere mention of the IRS, and that image hasn't been helped since the federal government's most feared agency admitted to singling out conservative groups for unprecedented invasive scrutiny," said Foxx. "As Americans, we expect our government to preserve, protect and defend our rights - not target them for political gain and control. The legislation we passed today will help ensure that all taxpayers are treated fairly and hold IRS employees accountable for their actions."
