regulations giving taxpayers greater control over their personal
tax return information.
NEW regulations under Internal Revenue
Code Section 7216, Disclosure or Use of Tax Information by
Preparers of Returns, became effective January 1, 2009. These
regulations limit tax return preparers' use and disclosure
of information obtained during the return preparation process
to activities directly related to the preparation of the return.
The regulations, along with supplemental
Revenue Procedure 2008-35 (http://www.irs.gov/irb/2008-
29_IRB/ar13.html), contain the updated rules and requirements
relating to disclosure and use of tax return information.
These regulations apply to paid and volunteer preparers and
the administrative staff that supports them. Failure to comply
may result in criminal or civil penalties. See the IRC 7216
