December 27, 2024 Notice to NACHA members: The IRS began notifying organizations, including NACHA, that an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contractor has been charged with the unauthorized inspection or disclosure of information from tax or informational returns, between 2018 and 2020. The IRS’s analysis suggests that club and /or member information, potentially disclosed, was narrow in scope and was limited to information returns (e.g. Forms 1099, etc.) issued by business organization (such as NACHA). This could be issuer/recipient Taxpayer Identification Number, Social Security Number (SSN) and Employer Identification Number (EIN), name, address, and other information from the information returns. As is always prudent in these times, you should monitor your accounts and credit reports for any potential impact. The full IRS notice will be posted shortly on the club’s website, under the “Notices”. December 11, 2024 Are you ready? The AzSCS Championship Show starts this weekend!
