WSJ: IRS Nears Deal to Share Data for Immigration Enforcement
WASHINGTON—The Internal Revenue Service and immigration officials are nearing an agreement under which the tax agency would share limited taxpayer data with border-security authorities, according to people familiar with the discussions.
Under the potential agreement, the top officials of Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Department of Homeland Security could provide the IRS with names and addresses of people suspected of criminal violations, ask whether that matches tax records and get a yes-or-no answer.
