10a 501(c)(4) Applications and the IRS
A hearing to review the criteria employed by the IRS to identify tax exemption
applications for greater scrutiny. 
Chairman Baucus is seeking, among other things, all the extra questions that the agency asked groups seeking tax-exempt status from February 2010 until now, any keywords and phrases used by the agency that sparked additional scrutiny for applicants and any and all employees that were either part or knew about the targeting outlined in the inspector general s report.
Outgoing Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller is scheduled to testify before the Finance Committee along with Doug Shulman, a former IRS commissioner, and Russell George, the Treasury inspector general who outlined the scrutiny the agency gave to groups seeking tax-exempt 501(c)(4) status.  The hearing will be Shulman s first public testimony on the matter.
The level of detail sought by the Committee illustrates that top lawmakers remain keenly interested in the attention the IRS gave to conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, and suggests that congressional probes on the matter could go on for some time. 

Witnesses:
Steven Miller, acting commissioner, Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
J. Russell George, inspector general for tax administration, Department of the Treasury
