Hard Drive Destruction: The Next Level of Security for Tax Preparation Offices

If you own a tax preparation office, you understand the necessity of protecting your clients’ important personal data. Shredding copies of old tax returns and keeping current information under lock and key are important steps in data security. However, what about replacing the computer systems from time to time?

Hard drive destruction is one consideration that every tax office owner needs whenever replacing a computer. If the office has been opened for any amount of time, there could be thousands of social security numbers sitting on the hard drive of any computer in the office. Simply throwing the computer in the trash is not an option for any responsible office owner.

The dramatic increase in the number of identity theft cases in recent years has had a negative impact on tax filers and the processing of returns at both the federal and state levels. In 2015, the IRS and many states took unprecedented action. They delayed refunds for millions of taxpayers in an effort to reduce the instances of identity theft. Still, they paid $5.8 billion dollars in fraudulent refunds in that same year.
