I.R.S.
The Internal Revenue Service said that it would begin notifying taxpayers if their requests for a refund were being frozen because a computer program had identified possible fraud. Mark W. Everson, the I.R.S. commissioner, did not disclose any details about how taxpayers would be notified or whether notice would be given to those whose accounts were currently frozen. The I.R.S. criminal investigation division, in reports to the taxpayer advocate, referred to the people whose tax returns it froze as criminals.
