We previously have blogged Fran Hill’s article, Auditing the NAACP: Misadventures in Tax Administration, which argues that "the IRS’s probe of the NAACP to determine whether the civil rights group engaged in partisan politics in violation of § 501(c)(3) has created a controversy that promises to end badly for just about everybody." In the latest chapter of the story, the NAACP has released 523 pages of documents it has obtained pursuant to a FOIA request detailing requests by Congressional Republicans that the IRS investigate the civil rights group. The NAACP also has announced that it has asked the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration to review the IRS’s handling of the FOIA request.
