US Internal Revenue Service disclosed confidential taxpayer addresses to ICE
Change
US Internal Revenue Service disclosed last-known taxpayer addresses to Immigration and Customs Enforcement approximately 42,695 times, breaching Internal Revenue Code 6103 protections.
Why it matters
A federal court decision establishes that cross-agency sharing of tax-return information is constrained by strict statutory requirements. Agencies seeking IRS data will face greater legal hurdles and judicial scrutiny before such information can be accessed or used for enforcement.
Implications
- • IRS risk and control officers must stop releasing taxpayer address data to Immigration and Customs Enforcement unless each request is documented to meet Internal Revenue Code 6103 requirements.
- • Immigration and Customs Enforcement case officers must suspend using IRS-provided taxpayer addresses in enforcement actions that rely on the challenged data transfers.
