A report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found the Internal Revenue Service improperly singled out Tea Party groups applying for tax exempt status.
Officials with the Roane County Tea Party say their organization was one of those groups.
“It’s upsetting that the IRS can be used in this manner,” local Tea Party communications director Chuck Smith said.
The inspector general report said the IRS Determinations Unit would identify applications from groups that had Tea Party in their names.
