How is this question not a violation of the IRS bill of rights #7, the right to privacy?: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/taxpayer-bill-of-rights-7-the-r...

The question is: "At any time during 2020, did you sell, receive, send, exchange or otherwise acquire any financial interest in any virtual currency?"

and right #7 says: "Taxpayers have the right to expect that any IRS inquiry, examination, or enforcement action will comply with the law and be no more intrusive than necessary"

Whats the confusion? The IRS has a legitimate power to ask taxpayers about their income, in compliance with the law. Asking the question doesn't appear to be "more intrusive than necessary".

Purchase and ownership of cryptocurrency is not taxable. The question is overly broad since it covers activity and situations that do not factor into tax liability.

Hey, this is a really good question.

Any tax lawyers here?

Has anyone tried to bring this to court?

I would guess that the Taxpayer Bill of Rights is one of those silly "does not create a private right of enforcement" non-laws. As in yes, it's a law, but nobody who cares about it has the right to enforce it in court.

I would guess that too, but it would be nice to hear from someone who actually knows.
