The Internal Revenue Service is an agency of the Federal Government of the United States of America responsible for collecting taxes and administering the I.R.S. Code.

I.R.S. and Zappa

  • "Heavenly Bank Account", about televangelists and their connections to politicians, includes the line "I.R.S. can't figure out where the hook is," referring to churches violating Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code by actively raising money for Republican candidates.
  • In The Real Frank Zappa Book, he quotes Section 501(c)(3) and suggests that the televangelists (particularly Jerry Falwell) may have planted people in the I.R.S. who would not investigate these violations.
