American Legion Targeted by IRS
Special records-keeping and hefty fines
The Internal Revenue Service is targeting the veterans' organization the American Legion, and a U.S. senator believes that Lois Lerner — a key figure in the IRS scandal – is to blame.
"The IRS now requires American Legion posts to maintain dates of service and character of service records for all members… The penalty for not having the required proof of eligibility is, apparently, $1,000 per day," the American Legion stated.
