26 IRS Tapes Missing in Kansas City
Lynn Horsley writes in The Kansas City Star:
Twenty-six IRS computer tapes containing taxpayer information are missing after they were delivered to City Hall months ago.More here.
Kansas City is one of hundreds of governmental entities that share taxpayer information back and forth with the Internal Revenue Service. City officials use the federal tax return information to enforce their collection of the 1 percent city earnings tax, which is paid by people who live or work in Kansas City.
City and IRS officials on Thursday either would not or could not say exactly what information is on the tapes or the number of taxpayers whose information is on the tapes.
But the information potentially could include taxpayers’ names, Social Security numbers and bank account numbers, or they could contain employer information.
(Props, Pogo Was Right.)
