The Purpose of This Page

This page is used to report PRIVACY VIOLATIONS on IRS nonprofit tax returns. Examples of a privacy violation include:

• A Social Security Number that was put into a tax return by mistake.

ATTENTION!
You must use the Internet or send us a letter to report a privacy problem.
Do not call. Your request must be in writing.

We recommend that you email us at privacy@resource.org.

After you submit your notification, we will examine the form and look for problems. If problems are discovered the following actions will be taken:

• First, the offending document will be redacted to remove any Social Security Number or other information that has been determined to be private. This will generally happen within 24 hours.
• Second, we will notify the IRS of your complaint.
• Third, we will notify registered bulk users of this database so they may also clean their copy of this data.

Please note carefully: we will only redact these government documents for very specific privacy violations, such as the inclusion of a Social Security Number. For all other changes you must notify the IRS directly. We do not have the authority to alter government documents without government authorization. It is your responsibility to notify the IRS if you wish to see these public documents changed beyond the redaction of Social Security Numbers.
