note
- If consent to disclose information has also been entered in the Consent Screen in the General folder for a client, the Consent Screen data entry for consent to disclose will supersede this dialog. Items listed in theRecipient(s) of tax return informationfields in this dialog will appear after items listed on the Consent Screen, if applicable.
- Use the Consent Screen in the General folder to print a Consent to Disclose for purposes of providing Electronic Refund Disbursement Services.
IRC Section 7216 requires preparers to receive consent from their clients to disclose or use their tax information for purposes other than preparing their tax return, and in certain limited situations, for purposes involving tax return preparation. This includes using "third party" return data entry services; offering Electronic Refund Disbursement Services from Refund Advantage or EPS Financial; or products or services such as mortgage loans, mutual funds, individual retirement accounts, and life insurance.
Thomson Reuters cannot provide tax preparers with legal advice on these provisions. We strongly recommend that you seek counsel from your own legal advisor as to the specific consequences to, and requirements for, tax preparers regarding IRC Section 7216 and the regulations. This would include seeking counsel prior to using any data mining searches for anything other than the preparation of tax returns, to ensure you are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
