In the last segment of the special five-part series, “Protect Your Client; Protect Yourself," the IRS and Security Summit partners share important steps for tax pros and taxpayers to take to reduce identity theft risks. "Tax professionals form a central part of the tax community's defense against identity thieves and cyberattacks," said IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel. "Ensuring strong security at a tax practice – regardless of its size – will help protect not just the business, but also help safeguard individual taxpayers as well as state and federal tax agencies from fraud.”
