WASHINGTON (AP) - The IRS says it is severing ties with ACORN, the community activist group involved in a scandal after employees were caught on video giving advice to a couple posing as a prostitute and pimp.

The Internal Revenue Service said Wednesday it would no longer include ACORN in its volunteer tax assistance program. The program offered free tax advice to about 3 million low- and moderate-income tax filers this spring

iIRS severs ties with ACORN over scandal

ACORN is so sociopathic, I'll bet every 100% of all ACORN prepared returns are filled with endless fraud.

With all the Tax liens on ACORN you would think there would be a full blown corporate AUDIT going on.

The other poster has an excellent point. The IRS had to know they owed millions to them in taxes and they let ACORN play H&R Block?

I think I remember reading that at one point ACORN did one of their community harassment things, like they have done to banks, and H&R Block capitulated to their demands. H&R Block may now be in cahoots with ACORN.

I want to see the big boys sharing a cell with bubba, his boytoy buttah...along with Soros, and all the other loose screws that have taken America for the hopey/changy ride with an a**clown. IRS in bed with ACORN...where’s J Edger Hoover and his blue dress when we need him?

You’re welcome, America.

While this is a milestone, this battle will no be over until the US is purged of these "community organizers", by whatever name they try to call themselves.

There certainly should be. They should also audit every individual tax return for which ACORN provided filing assistance.

ACORN just got slapped with a $548,213.25 federal tax lien from the Internal Revenue Service, on top of $334,121.43 in tax liens from Louisiana state tax officials, and the IRS is just now waking up to the fact that, well, there might be something wrong, here, ya' know?

You got it...

ACORN provided FREE tax help...

Someone at ACORN has to sign the preparers section at the bottom of each tax forms they prepared...

So they are federally libel.

"Free tax advice" = how to cheat
