Data Security

IRS Solutions is a cloud-based platform requiring a standard broadband internet connection for access. We recommend using Google Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge browsers on a Windows or Apple system for optimal performance.

At IRS Solutions, nothing is more important than the security of member and client information:

• Encrypted data is stored in the United States through the same Amazon Web Services Government Cloud (AWS GovCloud) used by over 6,500 government agencies.
• Access to your account is password protected and two-factor authorization (2FA) is required with each login.
• Once you’re logged in, browser indicators will let you know that your connection is secure.
• You have our pledge. IRS Solutions will never share or sell your confidential information.

Your data includes social security numbers and banking information for your clients. To maintain security, IRS Solutions purges all data 60 days after account cancellation. If you cancel your membership, please plan to export your data by then. We are not be responsible for your data after that date.

IRS Solutions Software has the honor of being hosted on the Amazon Web Services Government Cloud (AWS GovCloud), the same service that manages data for over 6,500 government agencies.

We’ve chosen to partner with AWSGovCloud because it meets all compliance mandates and keeps IRS Solutions® in compliance with numerous government regulations and mandates, but that’s not the biggest reason. We trust it, and so can you. From Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to confidential financial data, AWS GovCloud helps IRS Solutions® keep data safe as it moves among clients, pros, and the IRS, traveling safely from your desk to the cloud and back again.

No. IRS Solutions Software is a web-based, hosted platform. You can access the software from anywhere via the internet.

Two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA or dual authentication) is a type of multi-factor authentication (MFA) that increases account security by using two methods to verify your identity. Online, 2FA usually refers to a second layer of security on top of a password. The two-step verification of 2FA sometimes feels like a hassle, but it’s crucial for staying safe online. The 2FA involves authenticating yourself in two different ways, which provides significant extra security in a world where personal data is often up for grabs.
