Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) issued the following statement after the House passed the last of six bills this week to make the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) more accountable:

“When American taxpayers send a significant portion of their hard-earned paychecks to the IRS every year, they deserve high-quality customer service and the assurance that their dollars will be spent appropriately.

“The six commonsense proposals we passed this week will make the IRS more efficient, more accountable, and more professional. I appreciate my colleagues’ leadership on these bills. The Ways and Means Committee will continue to take steps to make sure the IRS focuses on its important mission – serving the American people.”
