2022 IRS SECURITY SUMMIT WARNINGS

2022 IRS security summit warnings. The annual IRS security summit was held so the IRS could give its assessment of the new threats emerging for the tax community, and list out the newest threats as well. The ever continuing battle of cyber crime continues, and the IRS is helping the tax community, state tax related agencies and everyone related to matters of taxation, with renewed calls for vigilance against cyber crime and tax identity theft. As IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig stated "As we've increased our defenses, cyberthieves increasingly turn to tax professionals, especially smaller operations, to look for security vulnerabilities. This is a critical link in protecting sensitive taxpayer information. By taking some basic security steps, tax pros help protect against the relentless efforts of identity thieves." 2022 IRS security summit warnings.
