United States Senate Committee on Finance recently issued the following announcement.
Request information on security, privacy protections for taxpayers
U.S. Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Finance Committee Republicans are asking the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for information on a recent collaboration with the non-profit group Code for America (CFA), a partnership aimed at helping Americans file for child tax credits.
In the letter, the members raise several concerns around security and privacy protections, especially in light of the massive leak of private taxpayer information from the IRS to ProPublica, and as Democrats seek to nearly double funding for the IRS.
