- Description:
- The Bureau of Indian Affairs received a complaint from Yackeyonny regarding State of Oklahoma income taxes paid by four individual Indians. The office investigated and found that two of the individuals did not file or pay taxes, one filed and paid taxes for one year, and one paid taxes for one year but the check bounced. The office is working to obtain refunds for taxes paid on behalf of individual Indian taxpayers and is cooperating with private attorneys hired by some individuals to obtain refunds. The office returned the letter and communication to Senator Harris as requested.
