More details to this question:
Other women all who are dating the same man whom I work with called my college who I no longer attend and tried to obtain a letter as to why I file my taxes a certain way , is that legal for a third party to get my information like that even though I only was getting info for institution. Two District Managers from tax office said it was illegal and would not give me a letter since other women wanted the info for wrong reasons. Is it?

It is not legal for private parties to require you to get a letter about why you file your taxes a certain way. It is particularly not legal when there is no tax reason or business reason for the request. You do not have to supply the letter to the women who are asking you for it. It is not legal for the college to release this information without your permission either. And you do not have to give your permission if you do not want to do so.

It is not legal. The IRS would not give it to these people and the college shouldn't either.
