Based on what little information presented in that article... Here's my spin.... Family ran a business, eventually got audited, maybe because of a red flag or maybe just because, the IRS found issues, they broke laws, law enforcement was called, they complained, and then someone from Congress picked it up on their radar.

My wife's charity is fighting with the IRS trying to keep their tax exempt status. It never even dawned on me that our government might have audited me as well two years ago because of my wife's connection to the charity. I just assumed it was an audit.

Did it ever occur to anyone they got audited because they got audited. I mean, when I get pulled over I don't think to myself "I'm getting pulled over because we have a Republican sheriff".

What makes anyone think they were targeted at all? Could the IRS associate a business account with a charity group? Maybe they were just breaking the law and the are tying to complain hoping it will all go away?

Best yet... Look at the comments on that page. Sure Vendzilla, you are an Independent who just happens to read such sites.
