More cybercriminals are targeting tax professionals. Because of this, data breaches have increased in number and scope. Thieves often use stolen identities to file fraudulent tax returns. As a tax preparer, you play a critical role in protecting your clients’ data.
To protect you and your clients from data breaches, you should:
Think twice before opening links in emails or responding to requests for information.
Assure taxpayer data, including data left on hardware and media, is always secure.
Require strong passwords - including letters, numbers, and symbols - on all computers and tax software programs.
Use caution when granting remote access to your systems.
Safeguard your Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN).
If you experience a data breach, alert the IRS and state agencies in every state you prepare returns.
The IRS shares additional information regarding
Data Thefts and Protecting Client Tax Information
that may be helpful for tax professionals.
Contact
the North Dakota Office of State Tax Commissioner if you believe your clients’ information has been stolen, including when and how you found out about the data breach.
