Show full summary
- Taxpayers: They would get a list of each specific document or data the IRS intends to seek from others and at least 45 days to reply. They can ask for more time and must show reasonable cause to get an extension.
- Third parties (banks, employers, record holders): The IRS would generally wait to contact them until the taxpayer’s response window ends, reducing unexpected third-party outreach unless a narrow exception applies.
- Tax administration: The bill creates an exception letting the Secretary approve immediate third-party contact when necessary. The rules would apply to notices issued after a 12-month delay following enactment.

More notice before IRS third-party contact
If enacted, this bill would require the IRS to give you at least 45 days before it contacts third parties for your tax information. The notice would name each specific item the IRS plans to seek from others when you could reasonably supply it yourself. You could ask for more time and must show reasonable cause to get a longer period. These rules would apply only to notices sent after the date that is 12 months after enactment, and the Treasury Secretary could make a limited exception.
