IRS Can't Account for Computers Lent to Volunteers

According to an audit report from the Office of the Treasury Inspector
General for Tax Administration, the Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) cannot account for some portion of 6,600 computers it lent
to volunteers to help prepare returns for low income, disabled and
senior citizens.  Earlier this year, the Inspector General found 2,300
computers missing from other areas of the IRS.  The missing machines
may contain sensitive taxpayer data.
