The IRSâs admission confirms the Committeeâs suspicion and recent reports that show the scope of the leak was much broader than what the Biden Administrationâs IRS initially led the public to believe.
In May 2024, an IRS spokesman stated that â[m]ore than 70,000â taxpayers were affected.
We found out that it's actually over 405,000 taxpayers!
This is a MASSIVE scandal.
@Jim_Jordan first launched his inquiry into these leaks last year.

The Honorable Jim Jordan
Chairman
Committee on the Judiciary
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Chairman Jordan:
Thank you for your January 30, 2025, letter requesting information about data security at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). We are actively working to gather the documents and communications you requested. This will be an iterative process, and we will provide the materials as they become available. We will keep you updated on our progress. In the interim, we are providing the following information in response to your inquiry.
Documents sufficient to show the precise number of taxpayers and other
entities whose protected taxpayer information Mr. Littlejohn inappropriately
accessed or leaked.
Relying on data analysis by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) and the IRS, the IRS mailed notifications to 405,427 taxpayers whose taxpayer information was inappropriately disclosed by Mr. Littlejohn. Approximately
89% of the taxpayers are business entities.
All documents and communications referring or relating to the procedures
that the IRS has implemented or will implement to provide assistance to
victims or to help taxpayers learn what information had been inappropriately
accessed and leaked.
Attached are the templates the IRS utilized to notify affected taxpayers that an IRS
contractor had been charged with the unauthorized disclosure of their tax returns or
return information. The notifications contain information to assist affected taxpayers
and were updated as IRS became aware of additional information. The IRS made
available supplemental information to assist affected taxpayers at the following link:
https://irs.gov/newsroom/irs-communication-on-data-disclosure.
All documents and communications referring or relating to the IRSâs efforts to
notify victims of Mr. Littlejohnâs crimes, including but not limited to:
a. How the IRS has informed or plans to inform victims of what specific
personal information was leaked and for what tax years.
2
⢠The IRS established a dedicated email address
([email protected]) for follow-up taxpayer inquiries. In response
to inquiries to this mailbox seeking details regarding the specific tax
returns or return information disclosed, the IRS separately will provide a
taxpayer specific list of information disclosed after a thorough review of
the complex and voluminous data files.
⢠The IRS revised the taxpayer notification letters to include more specific
information for taxpayers whose disclosed information was narrow in
scope and limited to data from information returns.
b. How the IRS has notified or plans to notify victims of whether their
protected taxpayer information was provided to a third party, including
but not limited to the New York Times and ProPublica.
The Internal Revenue Code requires a taxpayer be notified if any person is
criminally charged by indictment or information with inspection or disclosure
of such taxpayer's returns or return information. The IRS has mailed
notifications to 405,427 taxpayers whose returns and/or return information
was disclosed by Mr. Littlejohn.
c. When the IRS plans to complete its notifications to all victims affected
by Mr. Littlejohnâs crimes.
The IRS does not anticipate any further large mailings, though there will be a
relatively small number of additional notifications based on ongoing research
and reconciliation work.
All documents and communication between or among the Internal Revenue
Service and the Department of Justice referring or relating to Mr. Littlejohnâs
unauthorized access and disclosure of confidential taxpayer information.
As noted above, the IRS is working to gather all responsive materials and will
provide those materials as they become available.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have questions, please contact me, or a
member of your staff may contact Amy Klonsky, National Director, Legislative Affairs, at 202-317-6985.
This is Biden fuckery - more will be discovered for years to come as we continue to make audits great again. Not just where our money goes but obviously our personal information too - I wont call it privacy - there is zero.

Indeed.
I'm not filing this year and updated my w-4 to be exempt. Come and get me faggots!
Thatâs the way!
This is Biden fuckery - more will be discovered for years to come as we continue to make audits great again. Not just where our money goes but obviously our personal information too - I wont call it privacy - there is zero.
If we arrest all these people now at least half will go home with a slap on the wrist. We have to get rid of activist Judges.
Please tell me what a billionaire is gonna do with my measly SS payments once he steals it? Pad his retirement? These people are sorely stupid!
I much more worried about purple haired commies compromising my info than I am Elon.
I thought it would have been more like 1.7million!
Slimeballs!
