IRS Encyrpted email Guidelines

[Lee B]

" Interim Guidance Memorandum PGLD-10-1023-0002, provides for receipt and transmission of documents through Oct. 31, 2025, using email with encryption when working person-to-person with IRS personnel to address compliance or resolve issues in ongoing or follow-up authenticated interactions (mainly with field compliance, Independent Office of Appeals, Counsel and Taxpayer Advocate Service personnel). This guidance will remain in effect until the IRS fully implements long-term solutions for secure electronic communication channels with taxpayers as alternatives to encrypted email."

Apparently this will only happen when initiated by the IRS.
