Demands records on Treasury-DHS tax data sharing agreement.
Mr. Gomez (D-CA) and 18 co-sponsors.
Introduced in House, referred to committee.
This resolution asks the President and Secretaries of Treasury and Homeland Security to provide documents within 14 days about a data-sharing agreement used for non-tax criminal enforcement, specifically regarding taxpayer return information. Representative Jimmy Gomez (D-CA) introduced it, and it was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee, which handles tax-related legislation. It is currently under committee consideration.
Introduced Mar 3, 2026
This bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 3, 2026, and subsequently referred to the Committee on Ways and Means. For it to progress, the committee must consider and approve it. Following committee approval, it would be eligible for a vote by the full House of Representatives. If passed by the House, it would then move to the Senate for their consideration.
If this resolution passes and the requested documents are provided, the public could gain a clearer understanding of the data-sharing practices between the Treasury and Homeland Security departments. This transparency could reveal if personal tax information, like your income or audit data, has been accessed or shared inappropriately, potentially violating privacy laws. Such findings could lead to the creation of new rules or enforcement measures designed to better protect your sensitive financial data in the future.
Supporters Say
Supporters would argue this resolution promotes transparency and ensures federal agencies comply with laws protecting taxpayer data privacy.
Critics Say
Critics might argue that fulfilling such a broad request could be overly burdensome for agencies or reveal sensitive enforcement methods.
