The IRS has severed ties with ACORN, after several of its employees were caught on video giving advice to a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp.  (ACORN in the the past has worked with various groups in providing tax assistance to the poor through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA).)  In addition, the IRS has filed over $2 million in tax liens against the organization.
