7216 Consent > Use TaxCaddy with 7216 consent

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.
If you use the 7216 consent feature with TaxCaddy, note what happens when you create a binder from TaxCaddy. When a binder is created without 7216 consent, any users who are restricted from accessing binders without 7216 consent will lose access to the client.
The following happens if a user is restricted from accessing binders and TaxCaddy Client Profile without 7216 consent and a binder or Client Profile are created without 7216 consent:
The client will no longer appear in that (7216 restricted) user's
Clients I'm Following.
Select a client profile from Overview.
That user will no longer see the client in search results.
Search for a client.
If you were the client's Owner, you will be removed as the owner.
If member engagement teams (Assign Members) are used, any users who are restricted from accessing binders will be removed from the member engagement team.
