US EditionIRS begins sharing sensitive taxpayer data with immigration authorities to find undocumented migrants
UNITED STATES, AUG 10 – The IRS shared sensitive taxpayer data with immigration authorities under a 2025 agreement, verifying fewer than 3% of 40,000 suspected undocumented immigrants, amid privacy concerns.
- This week, the IRS started providing immigration officials with confidential taxpayer information to assist in tracking undocumented immigrants throughout the United States.
- This followed an April agreement between the Treasury and Homeland Security after months of tension and internal concerns about legality.
- The IRS verified under 3% of requested names from a list of 40,000, mostly matching Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, and withheld further data citing privacy.
- White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “The Trump administration is working in lockstep” to stop fraud and prevent illegal aliens from abusing benefits, although less than 5% of data was shared.
- The data sharing sparked criticism warning of eroding public trust and potential tax revenue loss, and coincided with President Trump dismissing IRS Commissioner Billy Long.
