Summary:

GAO reviewed an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) undercover operation, known as Project Layoff, carried out in 1984 and 1985. As a result of congressional concerns about operational breakdowns and the potential for misuse of funds associated with Project Layoff, during which IRS agents set up a bookmaking business in an attempt to identify unreported gambling income, this report provides information on (1) how IRS planned and carried out the operation, (2) costs and results of the operation, (3) problems GAO noted with Project Layoff, and (4) changes IRS has made since the operation to prevent similar problems in future operations.
