AskGAOLive: IRS Securing Financial and Taxpayer Data
What happens to all the personal data you send to IRS with your tax return? Join us for a chat about IRS controls to secure your data from threats, today at 2:00pm ET. You can send us your questions in advance via e-mail or on Twitter using #AskGAOLive.
In the course of collecting taxes, the Internal Revenue Service handles sensitive financial and personal taxpayer information. It relies on its information systems and security controls to keep that information secure. Gregory Wilshusen, a director in GAO’s Information Technology team, will discuss the findings of GAO’s recent evaluation and answer your questions.

GAO's mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. GAO launched its WatchBlog in January, 2014, as part of its continuing effort to reach its audiences—Congress and the American people—where they are currently looking for information.
The blog format allows GAO to provide a little more context about its work than it can offer on its other social media platforms. Posts will tie GAO work to current events and the news; show how GAO’s work is affecting agencies or legislation; highlight reports, testimonies, and issue areas where GAO does work; and provide information about GAO itself, among other things.
Please send any feedback on GAO's WatchBlog to blog@gao.gov.
