IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel stated, "We continue to see instances where tax professionals have had their systems compromised, and they did not realize it for weeks or months. Identity thieves are creative, and they can find ways of quietly penetrating systems. There are important warning signs tax pros should watch out for that can help alert them more quickly to a security issue and speed is critical to protect clients and their businesses from a security incident."
These tax security tips are explained at Nationwide Tax Forums held in Orlando, Baltimore, Dallas and San Diego. These forums are rapidly filling up and the IRS expects to have a sold-out attendance at each one.
There are several warning signs that individuals and tax preparers should watch for to protect themselves from identity thieves.
Tax preparers should immediately notify the IRS Stakeholder Liaison if there is an attack. There also is a Federation of Tax Administrators with appropriate contacts for state tax agencies. It is important to be proactive to reduce any potential losses for clients
