Page 6 - First, the amounts of total revenue (reported to be $1.4 trillion for fiscal year 1995) and tax refunds (reported to be $122 billion for fiscal year 1995) cannot be verified or reconciled to accounting records maintained for individual taxpayers in the aggregate.
Page 49 - It does not mean that the money the IRS is supposed to be collecting or spending has simply disappeared - or somehow been misappropriated. This has not occurred. The Service has two separate financial processes to track funds: the administrative system that handles our appropriated funds and our revenue system that tracks tax collections.

This is because RACS did not contain detailed information by type of tax, such as individual income tax or corporate tax, and the master file cannot summarize the taxpayer information needed to support the amounts identified in RACS. As a result, IRS relied on alternative...
Page 25 - IRS' master files; and $148 billion in corporate income taxes— this amount was $6.6 billion more than what was recorded in IRS' master files. Thus, IRS did not know and we could not determine if the reported amounts were correct. These discrepancies also further reduce our confidence in the accuracy of the amount of total revenues collected.
