Twenty-six computer tapes containing Internal Revenue Service taxpayer data have gone missing from City Hall in Kansas City, Mo.
The tapes were originally shipped to the City Hall building in August as part of an information-sharing agreement between the IRS and the municipality of Kansas City, according to The Kansas City Star.
Officials lost track of the tapes in December. On Friday, the local newspaper revealed that the city was working with the Department of the Treasury, of which the IRS is a division, in an attempt to locate the missing tapes’ whereabouts. No updates have been provided.
Officials from City Hall could not be reached for further comment.
