DOGE wants access to your tax data. Why?

Listen Later

Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service sparked alarm over the weekend, when a senior DOGE official requested access to the Internal Revenue System’s detailed database featuring financial information about every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

Host Martine Powers speaks with economics correspondent Jacob Bogage about how this could affect millions of American taxpayers.

Today’s show was produced by Ariel Plotnick, with help from Rennie Svirnovskiy. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sam Bair. Thanks also to Mike Madden.
