The IRS and Security Summit Partners Announce the 8th Annual National Tax Security Awareness Week

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in collaboration with its partners from the Security Summit, including state tax agencies and the national tax industry, have today announced a special week dedicated to educating taxpayers and tax professionals. The focus is on the protection of sensitive financial information from identity thieves, especially as we approach the holiday season and the 2024 tax season.
