Privacy Policy
There is nothing more important than safeguarding your personal information. We recognize the sensitive nature of this information and take every precaution to ensure your privacy. When you entrust us with your personal information, you can be certain it will be used only in an appropriate manner.
Tax accountants and all other providers of personal financial services are required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. We are bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law!
Information We Collect For Use
We collect necessary information to prepare your tax returns directly from you. We do not contact third parties without your written consent to collect nonpublic information. The required information we ask from you to properly prepare your tax returns includes, but is not limited to, Social Security numbers, birth dates, legal names, income and deductions to be reported to government agencies, addresses, and phone numbers.

Information We Disclose
We do not sell, share, or otherwise disclose any personal or tax return information about our current or former clients to anyone outside our organization, except as permitted by law or with your written consent. For example, clients often request us to disclose their tax return information to lending institutions, such as mortgage companies. Under IRC §6713 and IRC §7216, we are unable to disclose any tax return information without the taxpayer's written consent. We have a “Tax Return Disclosure Consent Form” that you can complete for us to disclose your tax return information to a third party.
Confidentiality and Security
We restrict access to personal information about you only to company employees who have a business purpose to access it. Tax Form Processing LLC stresses with all of its employees the importance of maintaining confidentiality of all client records.
We maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with federal regulations
to guard your nonpublic personal information. When transferring personal
information to us through our website at TAXFORMPROCESSING.COM we use
a secure server (

with SSL encryption to prevent outsiders from intercepting the data
being transmitted.

This Privacy Policy applies only to TAXFORMPROCESSING.COM, and does not apply to websites owned by third parties. We may provide links to other websites we believe may be useful to our visitors. We aim to ensure that such websites are of the highest standard. However, due to the nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee the privacy standards of websites to which we link or be responsible for the content on those sites. Your browsing and interaction on those third party websites are subject to the third party’s own rules and policies.
