Do Tax Offices Exchange Returns?

[Vor]

Quick question, do tax offices exchange tax return info. I know banks share data through CRS, FATCA, all the AEOI bla bla bla but will say the US IRS automatically exchange the tax return of a resident of say Spain and vise versa? I should clarify also this would be in the case of an individual filing taxes in two countries in this example they file in USA and Spain.

Not automatically. If there is a DTA between both countries. They can exchange enough information to determine where the tax should be paid in some situations. In terms of outright sending your complete tax filing to another country I doubt it very much without court intervention.
