WASHINGTON — An IRS employee who is affiliated with the Department of Government Efficiency is expected to seek access to an IRS system that houses sensitive taxpayer information, according to an administration official.

The access would be to the Integrated Data Retrieval System, which allows IRS employees to access taxpayer accounts. An administration official originally said that the employee had been granted access but later clarified that the employee was expected to seek access and was not already in the system.

The IDRS allows employees to have “instantaneous visual access to certain taxpayer accounts,” according to the IRS website. The system can be used for “researching account information and requesting returns” and “automatically generating notices, collection documents and other outputs.” It contains information such as taxpayers’ individual master files, taxpayer identification numbers, retirement account information and details on pending adoptions.

IDRS users “are authorized to access only those accounts required to accomplish their official duties,” according to the IRS website. They are not allowed to access the accounts of people with whom they have personal or financial interests, such as friends and relatives, according to an IRS document.

1. This is where we are at. Make the Assumptions

Assume that Musk and the Hitler Youth Hakers have inserted BackDoor code into all the servers that they’ve touched. I believe the code is written by top level programmers -

These Nazi youth are the stooges.

With IRS data, Musk will create a goldmine of information on every person, corporation and taco stand.

This information can be used to harass, arrest or bribe.

Musk ultimately wants an AI overlord to run the federal government. And the AI make all the decisions based on the training to suppress democracy, enrich the oligarchs, screw the environment, and kill your adversaries.

That’s the reality

3. Conspiratorial but I agree. His game is information

He gets a look at tax information on his rivals too. At this point he and Bezos etc are just measuring themselves against each other.

[DENVERPOPS]

14. He needs this information

to Select who is going to be included in the upper 1%

It would appear, that at this point, Trump has outgrown his usefulness to Putin, and Putin is in the process of appointing his new comrade at the top of the U.S. Government.....

I am wondering if "something" is going to "Happen" to JDVance, then Repubs will install Musk as VP, and then "something" will "Happen" to donnie..........

I would tell JDVance, to not fly in any planes, stay away from high-rise windows, and check his food and drinks with a geiger counter...

18. He called IT

21. Me too, I expect JD to fall out a window

2. Why is Musk

Still breathing our air?

[2naSalit]

5. Because...

His date with his Luigi is yet to come. Hope it's soon.

4. I heard, last night...

From a source in Australia, that a USAF Gulfstream jet landed in Moscow and left about an hour later while the two stooges were insulting all of Europe while in Munich.

Have to chase down that tidbit but if so...

Who or what was delivered there? Sensitive info to be used in terrorism events?

6. Orange Menace has nearly always been under audit due to his shady financial dealings...

... so him and Eloon figure, "lets pull that on everyone else". Then they head to the room that has the gold plated toilet(s) and get their keto and Adderall injections. Then they laugh, and laugh, and laugh...

"Adderall is a prescription medication that contains two drugs: amphetamine and dextroamphetamine. It belongs to a class of medications called stimulants. It's most commonly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It's also used to treat narcolepsy."

7. The DOGE scammers DO NOT NEED access to my income tax information.

Pray tell, how will seeing our tax information help in downsizing the IRS. The specific information plays absolutely NO ROLE in the number of staff working at the IRS. If they have access, I will never feel confident that the US Government can be trusted with our personal information. It's probably been sold to Russia, China and North Korea.

I demand that the GOGE scammers keep their eyes off our personal information.

8. He's gonna delete Trump's records "accidently"

10. I can remember when Republicans were setting their hair on fire over the "weaponization" of government agencies.

Nixon attempted this; threatening his opponents with the IRS if they crossed him. Republicans were fine with it - until it became public.

“I want to be sure he is a ruthless son of a bitch, that he will do what he’s told, that every income tax return I want to see, I see, that he will go after our enemies and not go after our friends. Now it’s as simple as that. If he isn’t, he doesn’t get the job.” - Richard Nixon to Haldeman and Ehrlichman on the job qualifications for the next commissioner of the IRS, 13 May 1971.

11. More criming. This is such BS.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

12. No fucking way should they get this info

[Deminpenn]

13. They might be able to get it,

but will they be able to figure out what it says?

In conjunction with a letter I got from the IRS about a prior year tax filing, the IRS agents sent me the detailed transcripts of my taxes. I could match some numbers with my 1040, but even knowing what the codes were, I couldn't figure out where some of the numbers came from. Even the IRS customer service agents I spoke to couldn't figure out exactly what had been done. Eventually everything got straightened out, but it was a process.

15. It was on Chris Jansing today that

despite the judge's order on other systems that they have "Read Only" access it seems Edolph's people were taking screen shots of data. Hardly a "Read Only".

16. Where do we file our lawsuits claiming that our privacy rights are being violated? muskrat and his thugs never had to

pass a clearance or get vested, so how in the hell are they managing to look at our personal information?

[IronLionZion]

17. And no conflict of interest with any of Musk's competitors or enemies

thankfully these super genius boys are here on merit with physically no time to have security clearance background investigations. Much safer for us than DEI. We are witnessing true greatness.

19. Elon is a traitor. The people enabling him are traitors.

[DallasNE]

20. That Must Be "Big Balls" Requesting This Info nt
