WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today warned taxpayers, tribal communities, businesses and tax professionals about promoters selling fake “Tribal Tax Credits” that do not exist under federal law.

Promoters market these fake credits generically as “Tribal Tax Credits,” “Native American Tax Credits,” “Sovereign Tribal Tax Credits,” or similar names. These tax credits do not exist. Read more

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service and the Security Summit today urged tax professionals and taxpayers to strengthen defenses against tax-related identity theft.
In the fourth installment of the “Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself” summer series, the IRS and Security Summit partners highlight the benefits of multifactor authentication (MFA), Identity Protection PINs, and secure IRS online accounts. Under the Federal Trade Commission’s Safeguards Rule, tax preparation firms must use multifactor authentication to protect access to customer information, unless a Qualified Individual approves in writing an equivalent secure access control.

Bisignano. “Using multifactor authentication, IP PINs, and other protections adds important layers of security that helps safeguard sensitive data held by practitioners, taxpayers, and IRS systems.” Read more
