Consumers for Paper Options Contact Senate

Consumers for Paper Options Files Statement with Senate Finance Committee: Consumers for Paper Options, a coalition of individuals and organizations advocating for the right to paper-based communications, filed a statement today with the U.S. Senate to demonstrate that electronic tax-filing and direct-deposited refunds are insecure and are leading to rampant identity theft. The organization encourages policymakers to maintain the option for citizens to file taxes on paper, and it supports Congressional efforts—such as H. Res. 97Opens in a new window—to protect non-electronic access to government services and information for Americans who need or want it.
