10Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Section 7216 Regulations: IRS regulations under Internal Revenue Code section 7216 became final
December 28, 2012. The revised regulations address modern tax return preparation practices, including the use of electronic filing and
the cross-marketing by tax return preparers of financial and commercial services and products. Section 301.7216 generally prohibits the
disclosure or use of a client’s tax return information without the client’s written explicit consent, absent a specific exception. Disclosure
of tax return information refers to a disclosure by the tax preparer to a third party. Use of tax return information refers to the use of
return information by the preparer for potential purposes of offering the taxpayer non-tax services. A tax return preparer is subject to
criminal penalties under section 7216 if the preparer “knowingly or recklessly” discloses or uses tax return information. A fine of up to
$1,000 or one year imprisonment, or both, could result for each violation. Additionally, Internal Revenue Code section 6713 provides for
a civil penalty of $250 for each prohibited disclosure or use of tax return information by a tax preparer. Due to these regulations, PJD
Tax Consultants Ltd is no longer able to provide copies of client tax returns to third parties who may need a copy of your return, such as
bankers, without receiving properly signed disclosure and use consent forms which will be provided to you.
