Revenue agents, customer-service staffers and employees at walk-in tax assistance centers, plus a smaller number of federal contractors, use a master computer that shows a summary of everyone’s return. Once they enter a name or Social Security number, these employees could go further into the record, much like scanning a bank account.
“It would take 10 minutes,” said Richard M. Schickel, who retired from the IRS in 2013 as a senior revenue officer and wrote a book about the agency. The computer is a “museum of tax information,” he said: “Everyone is on it. You, your grandfather, your great uncle.”

I'm the only one who said not interested' and I wasn't interested in Obama's birth certificate.
The other posters are against leaking the returns vs him releasing them.
Knowing Trump would have paid millions for a leaked birth certificate, ohh well.
