flag IRS mistakenly shared taxpayer data with DHS, prompting privacy concerns and legal challenges.

flag The IRS mistakenly shared taxpayer data with the Department of Homeland Security as part of a 2025 data-sharing agreement meant to identify undocumented immigrants, according to a court filing. flag The IRS verified only about 47,000 of 1.28 million names requested and provided additional address details in fewer than 5% of cases, potentially violating privacy protections. flag IRS officials notified DHS in January of the error and requested the destruction of improperly shared data. flag The breach has reignited legal challenges, including a federal court order halting address-sharing with ICE and prior rulings blocking such data transfers over privacy concerns. flag Advocacy groups warn the incident risks endangering lives, eroding trust, and enabling misuse of sensitive information. flag The IRS has not commented.
