Purpose(s): The purpose of this program is to detect and deter
breaches of security policy by IRS employees, contractors, or other
individuals who have been granted access to IRS information or to IRS

insecure, unencrypted manner.
Categories of Individuals: IRS employees, contractors, or other
individuals who have been granted access to IRS information, equipment,

a computer match. Data elements include, but are not limited to,
employee name, Social Security Number (SSN), employee number, address,
email addresses; employee spouse's name, SSN, address; taxpayer name,
Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), address, tax return/account
information, taxpayer entity information, including prior and current
name; electronic transmission specifics, internet Protocol (IP)
Address, computer machine name, terminal identification; general
personnel and payroll records, etc. The information generated and/or
obtained during these computer matches will be used by IRS employees in
the performance of their official responsibilities. Access to this
information is limited to those individuals who have a need to know the
information in the performance of their official duties. These
individuals are subject to criminal and civil penalties for the
unauthorized inspection and/or disclosure of this information. During
the execution of this program of computer matches and the resultant
analyses or investigations, the records used may be duplicated by IRS
employees only for use in performing their official duties. The
information collected or generated as part of this program of computer
