Bill overview
This bill, the Protect Taxpayers’ Privacy Act, aims to strengthen penalties and procedures related to the unauthorized disclosure of taxpayer information by federal employees and tax return preparers. It increases the criminal penalty for such disclosures from $5,000 to $250,000. Furthermore, it simplifies the process for removing employees from federal service who violate these privacy protections. The bill also restricts appeals to the Merit Systems Protection Board for those dismissed due to violations of tax information disclosure laws.
