The IRS and Security Summit partners are reminding tax professionals and taxpayers about tools to fight tax-related identity theft. Two key resources are the IRS Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) and the IRS Online Account.
Tax professionals are legally required to use MFA to protect client data. MFA adds a layer of security by requiring two or more verification factors—such as a password, a phone code, or a fingerprint—to access systems. This makes it much harder for unauthorized users to gain access, even if one factor is compromised. Best practices include:
The IRS encourages tax pros to attend the Nationwide Tax Forums and stay informed via IRS e-News and social media.
For taxpayers and tax professionals, following IRS guidance is crucial. Resources to follow include:
Protecting sensitive tax information is the responsibility of the taxpayer, tax preparers, and the Internal Revenue Service. Utilizing tools like the IP PIN, IRS Online Account, and MFA helps mitigate the risks of identity theft and fraud pertaining to tax documents. These safeguards, paired with educational tax resources and IRS communications, help taxpayers remain empowered to manage their identity and vital information effectively.
