Treasury agrees to block DOGE's access to personal taxpayer data at IRS

What are the assurances that they don’t already have the data? This would be the largest data breach in US history that would make the OPM breach look like a stolen garden gnome in comparison.

I was pretty nervous about voterfile &#x2F; irs data merges. I sensed this was headed towards building retribution tools for those who didn&#x27;t vote for the admin.

Too late. You think DOGE is going to go back in and uninstall whatever hooks they put into the system? Nobody would even be able to verify that.

Thank goodness for small mercies.<p>I wasn&#x27;t looking forward to Musk posting my tax return on a twatter rant.

I give this less than 72 hours before reversal

Why do they need to see any tax returns?

Treasury didn&#x27;t want DOGE having access so agreeing to block DOGE access seems like weird wording here.

you might want to have a few special agents swing by big balls&#x27; apartment and go through whatever hard drives can be found. ive got to think they&#x27;ve already made an offsite backup.

Good. If, however, DOGE gets access, then, like some Nordic countries, I think we should demand public disclosure of all of it.<p>The public deserves seeing what the richest rich pay in taxes, the middle class, and the poor. There’s so much fud and fog in the political discourse around tax burden.<p>Current POTUS famously, notoriously, refused to disclose his, as has been tradition.

A bit late for that

The multiple daily submissions about DOGE are getting a bit tiresome and are offtopic for HackerNews IMO. Unless they&#x27;re doing something technically interesting I&#x27;m not sure why it has to be posted here. Judging by the fact that they make the front page daily I seem to be in the minority though, so whatever.

Hilarious. IRS is all worried about $601 I&#x27;m paying to a friend but they themselves don&#x27;t want any transparency.<p>Honestly tired of the overreach by the federal government.
