US lawmakers push DOJ to prosecute tax prep firms for leaking taxpayer data to big tech

A quartet of Democratic lawmakers have penned a letter to the US Department of Justice asking it to prosecute tax preparation companies for sharing customer data, including tax return information, with Meta and Google. In a lettermade public on Tuesday, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), along with Representative Katie Porter (D-CA), urged US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco to hold tax prep companies accountable for criminal activitythey identified last year, and which has since beenconfirmed by the Treasury Department’s own investigation.
