> But while tax-filing websites were quick to stop collecting data, nobody's sure how much information was collected. One unnamed company told Congress that "every single taxpayer who used their websites could have had at least some of their data shared."

I assumed everyone has looked at a tax form in their life and has an idea of what information they contain.
