How We Safeguard Tax Preparers' Information

Tax Pro Registry allows the registered tax preparer the flexibility to control how much or how little information is available for the public to see. This was done to address the concerns of the tax professionals and respect the privacy of their personal information that they had provided to the IRS before they knew this information would be publicly available under the FOIA.

1. A tax preparer's actual "PTIN" was not made available under the FOIA, is not asked for by Tax Pro Registry and, for security purposes, RTRP Directory discourages tax preparers from providing this number for public display in their professional profiles.

2. The email addresses of tax preparers are not accessible to the users of the Tax Pro Registry website. All email communication available in the Featured Tax Preparer Professional Profile is done in a secure window without revealing the tax preparer's email address.
