Of interest to taxpayers, attorneys, accountants, journalists, historians, researchers, students, and anyone interested in accessing the voluminous information maintained by the Internal Revenue Service, this book (written by the former head of the I.R.S.'s freedom of information branch) describes the disclosure policies and practices of the I.R.S. The agency's most useful documents are identified along with information on how to gain access to them. Also included are insights on how and why government bureaucrats abuse the public's right to know.
