IRS Data Sharing
When you file taxes, your information goes through a secure IRS system and is protected by strong privacy laws. 

The IRS might share limited data with other federal entities for specific purposes.

Federal courts blocked an agreement between the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security in 2026, though courts continue to review it and its status could change.

For more information on IRS data sharing, review this factsheet by the National Immigration Law Center.

This is not legal advice. If you are worried about how this could affect you, talk to a trusted attorney or advocate.
