Taxpayer Notification and Privacy Act of 2025

This bill makes the IRS give clearer, more specific notice before it asks other people or businesses for your tax information. If the IRS wants details that you could reasonably provide yourself, the notice must list each specific item they plan to seek from others and give you at least 45 days to respond. You can also ask for more time if you have a good reason .

There’s a narrow exception: if the IRS decides it truly needs to get the information from someone else even if you could provide it, the rule about listing each specific item doesn’t apply. These changes start to apply to IRS notices sent 12 months after the law is enacted .

• Who is affected: Individual and business taxpayers; IRS staff who gather information
• What changes: Notices must spell out the exact information sought from third parties and give you at least 45 days to respond, with the option to request more time for good cause
• Exception: The IRS can skip the “specific list” if it determines third‑party information is necessary anyway
• When: Applies to notices sent starting 12 months after the law takes effect
