Charles Littlejohn, 38, in October had pleaded guilty to a charge of disclosing income tax return information without authorization.
U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes decided on his sentence.
Federal prosecutors had sought a five-year sentence, the maximum allowed under U.S. law, arguing that Littlejohn was motivated by a political agenda and compromised the security of sensitive personal information. Littlejohn, according to prosecutors, sought a position at a consulting firm that works with the IRS in 2017 in hopes of accessing and disclosing records on Trump, who was president at the time.
