Twenty-six IRS computer tapes containing taxpayer information are missing
after they were delivered to City Hall months ago.

Kansas City is one of hundreds of governmental entities that share taxpayer
information back and forth with the Internal Revenue Service. City
officials use the federal tax return information to enforce their
collection of the 1 percent city earnings tax, which is paid by people who
live or work in Kansas City.

City and IRS officials on Thursday either would not or could not say
exactly what information is on the tapes or the number of taxpayers whose
information is on the tapes.

But the information potentially could include taxpayers’ names, Social
Security numbers and bank account numbers, or they could contain employer
information.
