Keep tax records out of the hands of DOGE

This request for access to personal taxpayer data raises significant privacy concerns and represents an alarming overreach by private companies. Allowing unfettered access to confidential tax records sets a dangerous precedent that could enable misuse of sensitive information. The IRS must uphold its duty to protect citizens' financial data and reject demands that undermine this core responsibility. Robust safeguards are essential to maintain public trust in the integrity of the tax system. There must be stringent limitations on third-party access to tax records to prevent abuse and ensure taxpayers' rights are not violated.
