"Report finds widespread fraud in taxpayer ID program"
Both the performance and the policy seem wrong here...
This was reported by Mike Emanuel on the Fox News website:
"A recently released report shows widespread tax fraud in connection with the federal government’s Individual Taxpayer Identification Number program. The U.S. Treasury inspector general report accuses the IRS of discouraging employees from reviewing applications for the ID numbers, which are generally from non-resident workers. The inspector general specifically said there were 154 mailing addresses that were used 1,000 or more times on applications, including 15,795 numbers assigned to a Phoenix address."
