<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">As ABC News previously reported, DOGE had <a class="zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE " data-testid="prism-linkbase" href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/elon-musks-doge-asks-access-irs-taxpayer-data/story?id=118883475" target="_blank">sought broad access</a> to an IRS system that contains the personal tax information of millions of Americans, a move that would have given them visibility into personal information including taxpayer names and addresses, social security numbers, details on how much individuals earn and owe, property information, and even details related to child custody agreements.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">The terms of the DOGE employee&#8217;s temporary assignment at the IRS was laid out in a five-page memorandum of agreement between the Office of Personnel Management and the Internal Revenue Service. The memo states that the DOGE employee, Gavin Kliger, will be assigned to the IRS for a term of 120 days with the possibility of an additional 120-day extension.</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">In bold letters, the agreement states that &#8220;it is not the intention of this assignment for the Detailee to be provided or gain access to returns or return information &#8230; including any personally identifiable information associated with such taxpayer records.”</p>
<p class="EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy ">Instead, any information viewed will remain anonymous, said the agreement, which was first obtained by The New York Times.</p>
