Prof. Hickman's IRS Reform Proposal Endorsed by Forbes Columnist

Professor Kristin Hickman's recent policy suggestion--that many social welfare and regulatory programs and functions presently being performed by the Internal Revenue Service should be spun off from that agency--has been highlighted and endorsed by Forbes tax columnist Peter J. Reilly. Focusing particularly on the IRS's regulation of nonprofit organizations, Reilly commented that "Kristin Hickman makes a strong argument for moving Exempt Organization regulation out of the IRS as part of a larger effort to focus it on its core competency."
