Our built-in feature protects the sender and recipient by masking the SSN/TIN on the recipient copies of W-2/1099 Forms. This adds an extra level of security for the recipient and can help protect the company issuing the forms from liability.

Each year, over 10 million Americans are made vulnerable to identity theft through the mail during tax season. A significant portion of these identity crimes are committed by stealing personal mail.

Because recipient forms are required to be mailed in envelopes marked “Official Tax Document Enclosed”, mailed recipient copies raise a huge flag to identity thieves. The “Official Tax Document Enclosed” text offers the perfect way for identity thieves to quickly steal their victims’ most vulnerable and important information.

Not only does mailing sensitive tax ID info leave employees and contractors open to risk, but it also places the individual or business reporting the wages open to liability. If a contractor’s recipient 1099 or W-2 copies are stolen from the mail, the employing person or business may be liable for damages.

The good news is that there’s a simple step employers can take to protect themselves and their contractors.

The IRS offers those companies that choose to e-file their recipient forms an identity protection service called “SSN Masking”, also known as “SSN Truncation”.
