What precautions has IRS taken to ensure a partnership’s tax return data is secure during transmission to IRS?
A12. The Internal Revenue Service is bound by law to protect the confidentiality of tax return information and meeting that responsibility takes the highest priority at the agency. All information transmitted through IRS e-file is secured through use of multiple security mechanisms and personnel, operating under strict federal guidelines, carefully protect the information. IRS e-file systems employ a variety of security features, which are closely monitored to prevent unauthorized or inappropriate access. IRS cannot discuss specifics about MeF processing because freely disseminating that information could jeopardize the security we intend to provide. IRS has also developed a more detailed technical overview outlining certain MeF security standards.
