IRS Reverses Stance, Will Hand Over Undocumented Taxpayer Info To Immigration Authorities: 'It's Unprecedented'

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has agreed to share certain tax information of undocumented taxpayers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

What Happened: The IRS's decision to share tax information with ICE was revealed in a document submitted against the court filing by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The document questions the legality of this type of data sharing, reported the NBC News. “There is an agreement that calls for information sharing, which is a reversal of what IRS said in the past it would not share,” said Alan Morrison the counsel on the case.
