IRS may share your tax returns with designees
If you let someone else handle your tax matters, the IRS may disclose your tax returns and return information to that designee without requiring your written request or written consent. This authority stems from section 6103(c) and a 1996 amendment to the law.
Paperwork burden remains small: 9,000 responses
The IRS is extending the current information collection with no changes that would affect burden. The agency estimates 9,000 responses, about 12 minutes per response, for a total of 1,800 annual burden hours; comments on the collection are due by July 22, 2025.
