Federal #law requires that before the #IRS hands over a taxpayer’s address, a requesting agency must first provide the IRS with the name & address of the person it’s looking for. The requirement exists to ensure that the government can access confidential tax records only for individuals it has already specifically identified.

The ruling finds that #DHS did not follow this #law. The judge wrote that the vast majority of the nearly 47,300 taxpayer addresses the #IRS shared with #ICE in August were disclosed without the IRS confirming that ICE provided a valid address for the person whose records it was seeking.
