7216 Consent > Revoke consent from existing binders
note
7216 requires that tax preparers receive taxpayer consent before disclosing taxpayer information to third-party individuals who provide “substantive determinations or advice affecting the tax liability reported by taxpayers” or any individual located outside the United States. If the 7216 Consent feature is enabled, the 7216 access restriction will apply to all binder services and TaxCaddy Client Profiles.
Users assigned to a group with Restrict Access permission require 7216 consent to access the binder/client or become Owners/Assigned Members. If the 7216 consent was erroneously added then you can edit the binder to remove the consent. Removing 7216 Consent will also remove 7216 restricted users as Owners and Assigned Members. Additionally, the binder and TaxCaddy Client Profile won’t be visible to 7216 restricted users in FileRoom and TaxCaddy.
