As a California tax professional handling sensitive W-2s, 1099s, and depreciation schedules, your firm is a high-value target for identity theft. Beyond federal GLBA safeguards and IRS Circular 230 competence standards, California's unique regulatory landscape—including the CCPA and Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100—imposes strict transparency mandates on how you collect and share financial data. Failing to provide a clear privacy policy exposes your firm to IRS penalties, E&O liability, and enforcement actions by the State Board of Accountancy. Our document ensures your clients understand their rights to data deletion and how you protect their tax filings from unauthorized disclosure.
This policy includes mandatory clauses required under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Civil Code, detailing user rights such as the right to notice, the right to delete personal data, and the right to opt-out of data sharing. It specifically addresses how your firm handles California residents' sensitive financial information collected during the tax preparation process.
Yes. As a tax preparer, you are considered a financial institution under the FTC's Safeguards Rule. This policy incorporates the required GLBA 'Information Collection' and 'Data Security' clauses to inform clients how their non-public personal information (NPI) is protected against unauthorized access.
The 'Use of Information' and 'Data Sharing' sections are tailored for tax firms, explicitly defining when data is shared with the IRS, state tax authorities, or third-party software providers to file returns or handle amended returns, ensuring transparency in line with IRS IRC disclosure rules.
Consistent with California AB 5 (ABC test) and Lab. Code § 2750.3, the policy accounts for data access by personnel. It emphasizes that any worker classification—whether employee or contractor—is bound by the same strict confidentiality agreements and data protection protocols required to maintain your firm's PTIN and CPA licensing status.
