ftr-501	Sprouls, R. Tracy	IRC §§ 7431 and 7433: Civil Remedies for Abusive Practices by the IRS	2022	43	.pdf	application/pdf	19630	831	50	Regarding the issue of potential abuse of privacy by disclosure of Internal Revenue Service information, he said: The important point that we have to establish first is that the IRS is there for one purpose: To collect taxes to run the country, not to collect information on the lives of private citizens like some Gestapo agency to turn over to whoever may be in power in the Government. As desirable as such a cause of action may be, at least from the taxpayers' point of view, it is not provided in section 7431, which was designed to prevent the use of Internal Revenue Service information for political and other purposes without interfering with the routine administration of taxes.	cache/ftr-501.pdf	txt/ftr-501.txt
