    1099 AND SOC SEC NUMBERS Xed out

    My software has the option to x out the first five numbers of the recipient's SS#. Good or bad idea?

      Good idea. It protects your client if they misplace or lose their return. It reduces your E&O exposure.

          it doesn't x them out on copy A does it? SSA would definitely need that # and IRS would want it to

              I mask everything that is allowed to be masked. Years ago had a client leave his folder on top of his car and drive off; he never found his paperwork. Protect your clients and yourself.
