Plain-English Summary

The proposal would strengthen penalties—both criminal and financial—for people who illegally share private tax information about individuals and businesses. This would affect IRS employees, contractors, and anyone else with access to confidential tax records, making the consequences more severe if they improperly disclose that sensitive data. The bill aims to better protect taxpayers' privacy by deterring unauthorized leaks of their financial information.
