The Fiscal Agency rejected an initial application and is now under discussions on how to accommodate DHS without violating fiscal privacy laws, sources told ABC News.
DHS is trying to provide names to the IRS in exchange for housing addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses, an administration official said to ABC News.
Section 6103 of the Federal Fiscal Code requires that IRS maintain the individual information of confidential taxpayers with certain exceptions.

The IRS has allowed undocumented immigrants to submit income tax statements with identification numbers of individual taxpayers (ITI). Undocumented immigrants contributed $ 25.7 billion in Social Security taxes using social security numbers provided or fraudulent, according to the Bipartisan Policies Center.
DHS has also asked the agency for auditors and researchers and counters to help investigate companies that can hire undocumented immigrants not authorized to work in the US. UU. And it is looking for the help of the agency aimed at financial networks that support traffic organizations, the sources said.
Last month, DHS formally requested IRS agents from the Treasury Department to obtain help with the application of immigration.
The Washington Post was the first to inform the IRS application to obtain information and resources from taxpayers.
An IRS spokesman and DHS did not respond to a comment request.
