IRS Tax Tip 2018-151, September 27, 2018
The IRS reminds tax preparers that protecting taxpayer information isn’t just good for their clients and good for business – it’s also the law. The Federal Trade Commission’s Safeguards Rule requires that tax preparers create and enact security plans.

IRS Publication 4557 information:
Cybercriminals want sensitive client data that tax professionals have, so the tax preparation community is a target. As a tax professional, you can take the initial step to safeguard taxpayer data by assessing your risks and making a security plan.

It’s more important than ever that tax professionals take aggressive steps to protect taxpayer information. Developing a good security plan not only makes you think about areas where you could be vulnerable to intrusions, it also helps you focus on prevention. How do you get started on developing a plan that is workable for your business?

This means identifying the risks and potential impacts of unauthorized access, use or disclosure of information. It also means looking at what happens if someone modifies or destroys that information or the computer systems that can be used to access taxpayer data.
