Privacy Panel urges limits on tax data use
The federal privacy commission urged sharp limits on use and distribution of income tax information while stopping short of saying only collectors may see returns. The seven member panel led by David Linowes says confidentiality is essential to tax system effectiveness and proposes federal court orders before IRS shares returns in non tax prosecutions. The report coincides with Senate privacy concerns and a final 1970s oversight report due next June.
