Disclosure of Returns and Return Information To Procure Property or Services for Tax Administration Purposes

This document contains final regulations relating to the disclosure of returns and return information in connection with the procurement of property and services for tax administration purposes. The regulations authorize the Department of Justice, including offices of United States Attorneys, to make such disclosures. Prior to these amendments, disclosure authority within the Department of Justice rested only with the Tax Division. The amendments also reflect a change to the law made by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 regarding the type of services about which disclosures may be made.
