As I’m sure you’re aware, Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits sharing taxpayer data with unauthorized parties - including other government departments. Recently, the Department of Homeland Security asked the IRS for the home addresses of 700,000 allegedly undocumented individuals. In addition, a U.S. DOGE Service official arrived at IRS headquarters and demanded taxpayer and vendor information. Another DOGE employee, a software engineer, attempted to gain access to detailed tax data on virtually every person, business, and nonprofit in the country. In response, the Treasury Department blocked DOGE from accessing personal taxpayer data. So far, the IRS has resisted pressure to allow federal agencies to cross-check tax records with benefits rolls to look for alleged fraud. Raising this sensitive information is breaking the law. Weaponizing tax information is illegal, unethical and immoral. Violating tax privacy laws would set a dangerous precedent, and I urge you to stand up for your constituents’ rights. These unauthorized parties have no right to digging through our private financial information. D
