This is very rare and they have not claimed physical damage. I've already mentioned the fact that this only one of two ways to lose that amount of data.
The people claiming the data from the hard drive couldn't be recovered did not specifiy why the data couldn't be recovered. Maybe we will learn more when the IRS Commissioner testifies tomorrow.
As to rarity, if that's true, I'm still wondering why my friends can never get their data back when their hard drives crash lol. Does it take a lot of time and effort to recover the data?
This was not a scandal when the hard drive alledgedly crashed. Do you really think people save hard drives whether private industry or govt when they are deemed to be broken or obsolete? No, they get rid of them.
As for an audit with no receipts, the answer is easy, your deduction will be disallowed.
Yes it was. Rep. Camp sent a letter to the IRS about the targeting 10 days before Lerner's supposed hard drive crash.
-Handing over confidential info on conservatives to liberal media.
-Leaking other confidential info to other agencies.
-Asking conservatives the content of their prayers.
-83% of the groups flagged were conservative, of those with a real audit 100% were conservative.
-Tea Party donors having a chance of getting an audit astronomically higher than the national average.
-Campaigning for Obama on the job by telling citizens that owe back taxes that they need to vote for Obama.
How could you not know?
Good list. And you can add contacting the DOJ and asking them to find a way to prosecute the groups and then illegally sending 1.1 million documents of classified info to the DOJ to start the fishing expedition for a false prosecution.
They were trying to ruin people's lives because the people had the audacity to disagree with Obama.

The IRS did not see what they were doing as targeting. They weren't concerned about the initial congressional inquiries. As far as they were concerned, they were just managing an increased workload from exempt orgs. (Caveat I am still on the fence about whether or not Lois Lerner was behaving intentionally criminally or just stupid).
Congressional inquiries are a daily routine part of business for every government agency that deals with US citizens.
When citizens don't like things, they complain to their congressmen. Their congressmen forward the complaints along with a demand for explanations to the appropriate agency so they can show their constituents they are representing them well. Sometimes the citizens complaints are valid; sometimes they aren't. Congressmen don't try to distinguish. They simply ask the agency to provide a response.
The IRS was not concerned about the initial congressional inquiries into what they were doing because they didn't think what they were doing was wrong.
There was no scandal AS FAR AS THE IRS WAS CONCERNED until they knew the IG report was going to break in the press/congress. The IG report called them out for being wrong. And once they saw it spelled out in black and white by a neutral party(not a complaining taxpayer) they got it. (again caveat that Lerner may have gotten it all along).

Lerner admitted that it had targeted conservative groups during the 2012 election. IRS acknowledged was "inappropriate" targeting of conservative political groups during the 2012 election.
Yet, Obama's brother, who illegally operated as tax exempt since 2008 got his application "fast tracked" and ok'ed within an unprecedented time.
