The Trump administration and the Treasury Department agreed to stop the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, from accessing taxpayer data within IRS systems, according to The Washington Post, the latest development around DOGE’s attempts to access federal data as part of an effort to reduce government spending.

The DOGE efforts at the IRS come as the Trump administration is moving to drastically reduce the size of the tax collection agency.

The Trump White House and Treasury Department officials have reached an agreement to limit DOGE's access to IRS data, citing privacy concerns.
