Bill overview
The Taxpayer Data Protection Act increases the penalties for illegally sharing taxpayer information. Specifically, it raises the maximum fine for unauthorized disclosures from $5,000 to $250,000, and the potential prison sentence from 5 years to 10 years. The bill also clarifies that multiple disclosures affecting different taxpayers should be treated as separate offenses. These changes are designed to strengthen protections for taxpayer privacy and deter data breaches.
