IRS Shared 47,000 Taxpayers' Addresses with ICE, Raising Privacy Concerns
A report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) has revealed that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provided the addresses of nearly 47,000 taxpayers to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This data-sharing occurred under a memorandum of understanding signed in April 2025, which allowed ICE to request addresses for individuals under criminal investigation. However, the report highlights concerns about the legality of this agreement and the IRS's failure to accurately match records, leading to potential privacy violations.
