Your Tax Returns May Be Checked by 100 Agencies Telegraph's Medill Service "confidential" income tax return can be examined by more than 100 federal administrative agencies, any Congressional Committee or subcommittee and the state revenue services in all but seven states. If your next door neighbor wants to see your tax returns, he can't. But any revenue the township tax the potential power to subpena them.

Administrative red tape keeps these instances of sharing tax information by the Internal Revenue Service at a minimum but its very existence has disturbed at least one Congressional subcommittee. Sen. Edward V. Long, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Administrative Practices and Procedures, and an active opponent of government invasion of privacy, feels that a loose interpretation of the tax laws would leave nearly everyone's tax return open to scrutiny by federal, state, and even local revenue officials. "I guess just about anyone In the federal government can see tax forms," a spokesman for the Justice Department said.

"But of course you need a good reason." The idea that tax returns are practically a matter of public record for government officials is challenged by a spokesman at the Internal Revenue Service. "The returns are a damn sight more confidential than you might think," he said. "A ma jority of the people think the work for the IRS (in Washing ton) don't even see the returns. I haven't seen one in years." He acknowledged, however, that the possibility of a township tax collector seeing Federal returns exists. For this to occur, he said, the local official must convince the state revenue commissioner, the governor and the federal official that the information is needed to administer legal taxes.

"Needless to say it doesn't happen very often," he said. State revenue services make the greatest use of tax information sharing. Florida and Ohio, for example, photograph one million Federal income tax returns a year, although neither has a state income tax, the IRS official said. "States with an intangible personal property tax frequently consult IRS records," he said. "If a citizen reports interest on stocks or bonds in his IRS return he must have intangible property subject to state tax." Most of the federal agencies and Congressional committees have received the power to see tax returns through Executive orders.

The IRS Code specifically lists only two Congressional committees as having this power; executive orders enabled the rest to get it. to get it. Reasons for examining returns are varied. The Social Security Adminis- 'tration consults tax returns to see if a recipient reports yearly earnings in excess of the $1,680 permitted. The Agriculture Department checks on recipients of farm subsidies to see if they report earnings from a given crop they were not supposed to grow.
