Sen. Elizabeth Warren is leading a letter to the Justice Department asking the agency to prosecute tax prep companies that allegedly failed to protect user privacy.

A group of Democratic lawmakers are urging the Justice Department to prosecute tax prep companies accused of improperly sharing user information with Meta and Google through their advertising pixels. Sens. Elizabeth Warren , Ron Wyden , Richard Blumenthal , and Rep. Katie Porter , are calling on the DOJ to take action against tax prep companies that they say failed to protect taxpayer privacy.

The TIGTA report does not name individual tax prep providers but said its review of “four tax software companies” found that they did not comply with a Treasury regulation aimed at protecting taxpayer privacy. Although the companies collected taxpayer consent for disclosing tax return information they did not clearly identify the specific reason why they were soliciting consent. Neither did they identify who specifically would receive that data.
