#4 There was no "publication mistake." Human consumption levels and impacts on renewables will be constantly monitored. Your identity must be made readily available.

#5 So, Raj, your expert advice please? Is it worthwhile / necessary for me to contact my accountant? Will she even be able to determine whether I was one of that 120,000? If I was, am I basically totally screwed?

Wonder how many of the 120,000 are MAGA voters?

Will the IRS be paying for the CREDIT & ID THEFT Protection Services for life (eg. Lifelock)?
Which is about $11,880,000 a year for the next 20 to 60 years.

#11 49 Pan, are you paying attention? Those thousands of agents aren't being hired to protect YOU.

#13 M. Murcek (et al) - I wouldn't worry about it. It looks like the 'released' data is limited to 990-T forms and related schedules, so unless you contributed $5,000 or more to a nonprofit in the past couple of years, your name / information isn't part of it.

#14 Thanks, Raj. Sorry to put you on the spot, but you are the go-to expert for that stuff here. I greatly appreciate your take on this.
