Gordon, Acting Director Disclosure and Security Division Internal Revenue Service Dear Mr. Gordon: Subject: Tax Information Safeguard Activity Annual Report (GAO/GGD-84-83) This letter constitutes our annual report on safeguarding tax returns and return information. As agreed with the Former Director, Mr. Raymond L. Rizzo, this report covers the 2-year period from January 1, 1982, through December 31, 1983. The annual report is required by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Publication 1075, Tax Information Security Guidelines. That publication requires agencies authorized access to federal tax returns and return information to report (1) significant changes in safeguard procedures or authorized access to tax return information adopted over the period and any changes or enhancements to physical and computer security measures utilized to safeguard tax data; (2) the results of internal inspections conducted to assure that written procedures are followed to- gether with identification of the offices visited, security tests performed, findings made, and overall safeguard awareness found; and (3) the identity of return information disposed of during the period and the date and manner of destruction. The following sections summarize our safeguard efforts in connection with each of these three reporting requirements. CHANGES TO SAFEGUARD PROCEDURES As you know, our safeguard policies and procedures are set forth in GAO Order 0135.1. This order, supplemented by your Publication 1075, establishes the necessary comprehensive frame- work for GAO employees to exercise control over tax returns and return information and thereby protect taxpayer information from unauthorized disclosure.
