Masking
When I print my client’s filing copy, client copy, and preparer copy, I select Mask Sensitive Data for the client copy. However, Form 8879 is not masked, which seems counter-intuitive. How do I send the client home with a masked copy to prevent identity theft? When the client is in front of me, and I want them to sign Form 8879, I can print it from the preparer copy or by Print Selected Forms, which is not masked. The way it is now, if I want the client copy to be masked, I need to take a black marker and redact the first five numbers of the social. My suggestion for enhancement is if I select Mask Sensitive Data for my client copy, all sensitive information will be masked.
