The IRS announced that it will increase the amount of information shared
between the tax preparation industry and the government to safeguard
taxypayers from identity theft and tax refund fraud. The IRS, states,
and industry leaders agreed to form three separate groups that would
improve taxpayer authentication, fraud identification, information
assessment, cybersecurity frameworks, and communication with taxpayers.
These strategies are expected to
improve security for the 2016 tax season. When speaking about the
Security Summit, Commissioner Koskinen said, “We’ve made tremendous
progress, and we will continue these efforts. Taxpayers filing their tax
returns next filing season should have a safer and more secure
experience.”
