Consumer Privacy and Identity Theft

The IRS is considering allowing tax preparers to sell your confidential tax return information to other companies, including marketers. And you'll have no control over how that company will use your data, who else they'll give it to, or whether or not they'll safeguard it from identity thieves.

Ask your Senators to support legislation, S.2484, to prohibit tax preparers from disclosing taxpayer information to other companies.

Follow these 3 easy steps to help out.
1. Look over the message below, and feel free to add your own comments. Using your own words makes the message more meaningful.

Dear Senator, I am writing to urge you to co-sponsor and support S. 2484, Senator Obama�s bill to prevent private tax preparers from selling my confidential tax information to database marketers and other third parties. Tax returns shouldn�t be sold to the highest bidder, nor exposed to identity thieves. Thank you,

2. Sign the letter by filling in the form below. We will not share your information with anyone else.
