Just as millions and millions of Americans across the land are meeting the approaching deadline set by the Internal Revenue Service to provide all sorts of information about themselves, and that signature on a check, the federal agency is putting itself on a different level.
One that is exempt from deadlines, according to a newly filed lawsuit against the agency.
The complaint alleges that the IRS was supposed to provide key information about a case in which it allegedly monitored various churches for suspected political activity, but refused to release details because the group that had complained withdrew its complaint.
The dispute already is the focal point of a lawsuit that was filed earlier by Washington watchdog Judicial Watch, which is demanding access to the communications that went on between the IRS and the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
The new complaint also is from Judicial Watch, on behalf of the Alliance Defending Freedom, which explained the IRS had a deadline last September to provide information, then a deadline in November, then January and then March.
None were met, the claim explains.
