Concerns were expressed about the collection of, access
to, and use of information in the Internal Revenue Service's
(IRS) Froposed computerized Tax Administration System. IRS does
not plan to collect and retain significant additional
information not already in its files. The information would:
meet relevancy requirements of the Privacy Act; not Jnclude
individuals@ religious, political, or other affiliatioLs; be
collected to the greatest extent practicable directly from the
subject individual; and not be disclosed without notice to the
individual. The system would improve the afficiercy of
performing necessary cross-references betveen telated accounts.
IRS plans to continue current security measures for control of
access to data and to add an additional feature, the use of a
coded identification badge. Thexe are legislative restrictions
on the use of taxpayer information both by IRS and for nontax
purposes. (HTW)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaawxe0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
