A bill to provide penalties for unauthorized disclosure of tax information.

Summary

Amends the Internal Revenue Code to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of nonreturn information as well as of tax returns. Establishes an affirmative defense to a prosecution for unauthorizated disclosure of a return or nonreturn information, if such disclosure resulted from a good faith, but erroneous, interpretation of the confidentiality provisions of the Code while a Federal employee was acting within the scope of his employment or duties.
