Tax Services Provider Fraudulent Activity Section
In this section, “tax services provider” is defined as a:
Electronic Return Originator (ERO): An ERO originates the electronic submission of a tax return
through IRS or state e-file after the taxpayer authorizes the electronic filing of the return.
Online Filing Provider: An Online Filing Provider allows taxpayers to self-prepare returns by entering
return data directly into commercially available software downloaded from an Internet site and prepared
off-line, through an online Internet site, or loaded from physical media onto a desktop computer or mobile
device.
Software Developer: An Authorized IRS or state e-file Provider that develops software for the purposes
of (a) formatting the electronic portions of returns according to Publication 4164 or state specifications
and/or (b) transmitting the electronic portion of returns directly to the IRS or the state. A Software
Developer may also sell its software.

Modernized e-File Response Form
Transmitter: An Authorized IRS or state e-file Provider that transmits the electronic portion of a return
directly to the IRS or the state. An entity that provides a “bump up” service is also a Transmitter. A bump
up service provider increases the transmission rate or line speed of formatted or reformatted information
that it is sending to the IRS or the state via a public switched telephone network.
A tax services provider may serve its customers in more than one of these roles. A tax services provider
may use any tax return information provided by a taxpayer (whether in and for the current year or for prior
years) for the purpose of identifying a suspicious or potentially fraudulent return submitted by the taxpayer
or related to that taxpayer. For these purposes, tax return information means any and all documents or
materials provided by the taxpayer or required by the taxing authority that the tax services provider uses
in the course of the return preparation and submission.
Tax services providers shall produce analytic compilations of federal and state tax return and submission
information that directly relate to the internal management or support of the tax services provider’s
business, which shall include aggregated data compilations to identify potentially fraudulent behaviors or
patterns. The analytic compilation shall employ any tax return information provided by the taxpayer.
Tax services providers shall disclose the compilations of tax information to North Carolina through IRS
secure data transmission on at least a weekly basis and identify by use of federal and state submission
IDs any return the tax service provider believes is potentially fraudulent.
In addition, if a tax services provider has a bona fide belief that a particular individual’s activity,
discovered by data mining a statistical compilation, violated criminal law, the tax services provider shall
disclose that individual’s tax return information to the North Carolina Department of Revenue.
I understand and agree to the terms and conditions of this Response Form. Please be aware
