ABC NEWS: Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has requested access to a sensitive IRS data system that retains the personal tax information on millions of Americans, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The system, known as the Integrated Data Retrieval System, or IDRS, is used by IRS employees to review tax information, issue notices to taxpayers and update taxpayer records.

Access to the files, which is tightly controlled within the agency, had not been granted as of this weekend, several sources told ABC News.

Still, the request itself is still being seen with alarm both within the government and among privacy experts who say access to Americans' private taxpayer data by Musk could be extraordinarily dangerous.
