Microsoft loses lawsuits against IRS over tax audit records [Ed: Lost in the news of Microsoft layoffs]
- Microsoft Corp on Wednesday lost its bid in Seattle federal court to force the IRS to release tens of thousands of records tied to an audit that the agency is conducting of the technology company.
U.S. District Judge Ricardo Martinez in a pair of opinions ruled against Microsoft, after concluding in one lawsuit that the Internal Revenue Service was properly shielding 49,400 pages from disclosure under the federal Freedom of Information Act and in the other lawsuit that Microsoft was not entitled to additional records pertaining to the firm's audit-related contracts with law firms Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan and Boies Schiller Flexner.
Microsoft had accused the IRS of taking "extraordinary lengths to keep its agency records in the dark" and questioned "outsourcing" work to private law firms.
