This access is necessary for auditing the Department of Revenue and other agencies or programs that use tax information to determine eligibility for public benefits. The bill ensures that the identity of individual taxpayers, audit workpapers, and tax returns will remain confidential and not included in published audit reports, with the sole purpose of evaluating the performance of the state agencies or programs, and not auditing specific taxpayers.
