Pursuant to 26 CFR 301.9000-1 (a) [Title 26 Internal Revenue; Chapter I Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury; Subchapter F Procedure and Administration; Part 301 Procedure and Administration; General Rules; Miscellaneous Provisions], the term IRS Records or Information means “any material (including copies thereof) contained in the files (including paper, electronic or other media files) of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), any information relating to material contained in the files of the IRS, or any information acquired by an IRS officer or employee, while an IRS officer or employee, as a part of the performance of official duties or because of that IRS officer's or employee's official status with respect to the administration of the internal revenue laws or any other laws administered by or concerning the IRS. IRS records or information includes, but is not limited to, returns and return information as those terms are defined in section 6103(b)(1) and (2) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code) [26 USCS § 6103(b)(1) and (2)], tax convention information as defined in section 6105 of the Code [26 USCS § 6105], information gathered during Bank Secrecy Act and money laundering investigations, and personnel records and other information pertaining to IRS officers and employees.

The term IRS records or information nevertheless does include records or information obtained by the IRS before, during, or after a Federal grand jury investigation if the records or information are obtained --
(1) At the administrative stage of a criminal investigation (prior to the initiation of the grand jury);
