Tax Accountant Liberation

It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.
~ Oscar Wilde

The Information Age has officially run amok. The IRS is ever so quietly changing the rules to allow accountants and tax preparers to sell your income tax information. Why this change is happening is a mystery. The official reason, simple "housecleaning," is absurd. Clearly, this is part of the marketing database mania. The biggest beneficiaries, aside from H&R Block and the other sellers, will be the credit agencies, like EquiFax. Being able to merge your tax data in with your credit history will give them a valuable commodity. Once your tax returns are in the public domain, the uses they can be put to are limitless.
