We do not sell, trade, or transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information other than indicated in this privacy policy.

We disclose information with your consent and at your direction. We disclose your information to the IRS and other Government agencies when you give us the instruction to file your Return.

We also have relationships with other companies that provide products and services that we may offer. These companies have separate and independent privacy policies and we encourage you to review them before sharing your information with them. In these cases there are strict government regulations including IRC 301-7216 that govern disclosure of your information. If you give us consent, we may share information with these other companies. We do not share information with these companies otherwise.

We employ service providers who assist us in in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you. For example when you submit payment with a credit card your payment information may be shared with First Data, card associations, card processors, and your financial institution. As another example, we also use Google to process anonymous data about how our users use our website before they log in. To learn more about how Google uses the user data see www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/.

We may disclose the information we obtained from you to the Government(s) as required. This includes disclosure of information before your Return is submitted, at the time your Return is submitted, or after your Return is submitted. As required by regulation we may disclose your information to the IRS and Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) for the prevention of stolen identity refund fraud and as related to potential cyber security threats.

We may also disclose information when we have a good faith belief that the information is required or permitted by law pursuant to a legal request. Most often this is in relationship to an order of a court, legal process, or other judicial, administrative or investigative proceeding that produces a request for information from us. This includes a requirement to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including meeting national security or law enforcement requirements.

Your information may be disclosed in connection with a proposed or actual sale, merger, or transfer of all or a portion of our business.

We may disclose your information when we believe it is appropriate to enforce or apply our products’ Terms of Service and other agreements; or protect our rights, property, or our safety, our users, or others. We may disclose information to other companies or proper federal, state, or local officials in order to inform the official of activities that may constitute, or may have constituted, a violation of any criminal law or to assist the official in investigating or prosecuting a violation of criminal law. This disclosure is not for commercial purposes.

In the case of dishonored checks and unauthorized and/or disputed use of credit cards, certain information may be shared with all pertinent parties, including but not limited to the collection organizations, law enforcement agencies, the courts, and government agencies, including those which received the tax filings.
