Zoe Sagalow talks to Luca Gattoni-Celli about the data breach involving the IRS's data retrieval tool (DRT). After this episode was recorded, the IRS confirmed that its revised DRT was reactivated on October 1, 2017, for the 2018-2019 FAFSA form, but not for the 2017-2018 cycle. The IRS declined to provide any update about the timing or scope of the DRT's exploitation by identity thieves, including the number of victimized taxpayers. Tax Analysts will continue pursuing this story and share any new developments with our podcast listeners.
