Safeguards Reporting Requirements |
|
Agencies must use approved report templates and transmit reports electronically.
With the new Publication 1075, Tax Information Security Guidelines for Federal, State and Local Agencies and Entities (PDF), now effective, submission of the Safeguard Activity Report (SAR) and the Safeguard Procedures Report (SPR) required in Section 7 shall now be done using approved templates developed by the Office of the Safeguards. In addition, agencies must submit these reports electronically using the IRS approved encryption method of WinZip. This will result in more timely and efficient reporting within a safe and secure environment.
To receive the approved template and transmission instructions, please:
-
Send an e-mail with the subject line of "Need SAR template" or "Need SPR template" to the safeguardreports@irs.gov mailbox.
-
Within two business days, the template will be e-mailed back to the requestor.
-
-
Along with the template, the requestor will receive the current password to use for electronic transmission of SAR/SPR.
