The Department of Revenue receives Federal Tax Information (FTI) for use in tax administration. FTI consists of returns and return information received directly from the IRS or a secondary source such as the Social Security Administration*.

The IRS requires anyone who has access to FTI to receive annual safeguard and security training to understand safeguard requirements and federal sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department Inspector General Office.

*Federal tax data, and State return and return information, obtained directly from the taxpayer are not considered FTI for the purposes of this training.
