Q: Can I bring suit against the IRS for providing my address to the Trump administration?
Hello,
I recently received a letter from the Trump administration informing me that my Economic Impact Payment had arrived.
I was under the impression that it was illegal for the IRS to share my tax information with third parties except under certtain well defined circumstances (Code Sec. 7431).
Can I bring suit against the IRS for providing my address to the Trump administration?
Thank you
A:
First, you can sue anyone for anything.
The question is can you survive summary judgement, I have no clue. I'd need way more information to make a determination.
I would only make that determination after you retained me as your attorney.
If you want an answer you're likely going to have to put down a deposit and hire someone.
