Strengthening EFIN Confirmation for User Reliability and Electronic (SECURE) Tax Filing Act

This bill would bar the use of an electronic filing identification number (EFIN) to file federal tax returns or other tax documents unless the Treasury Department has confirmed that the number is active and that the holder is authorized for that filing activity. Tax filing software would be required to check each EFIN through a Treasury validation program and block filing if the number has not been validated. Treasury would have 24 months to set up a real-time validation system that shows whether an EFIN has been suspended, revoked, or compromised. Treasury would also have to send Congress an implementation plan within 180 days and a report on how the program is working within 2 years after it starts.
