Public Disclosure and Availability of Exempt Organizations Returns: Personal Identifying Information on Returns
Is personal identifying information provided on an exempt organization return subject to public disclosure?
Because the IRS is required to disclose approved exemption applications and information returns, exempt organizations shouldn’t include personal information, such as Social Security or bank account numbers, on these forms. By law, with limited exceptions, the IRS has no authority to remove that information before making the forms publicly available.
