How We May Disclose Your Information

Our disclosure of your information is governed by Section 7216 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act of 1999, certain other laws, and our policies.

Section 7216 of the Internal Revenue Code requires that we have your consent ("opt in") before we disclose your tax-return information to affiliates or third parties except the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and law enforcement officials, and except for certain other lawful purposes. Some information that is identical to some of your tax-return information, such as name and address, may not be subject to Section 7216 if we also collect this information for purposes other than filing your tax return.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires us to give you the option to limit the sharing of "non-experience information" with our affiliates. Such information includes information that is used, expected to be used, or collected for the purpose of establishing your eligibility of consumer credit, insurance and related products and services, and not related solely to your transactions or other communications with us. You may direct that non-experience information not be disclosed to ATAX affiliates by not signing consent.

We may disclose your information as described below where you have provided consent under Section 7216, or as otherwise permitted by applicable laws:

We may disclose your information to ATAX affiliates engaged in other financial services or activities in order to provide you with service enhancements and product opportunities that we believe may interest you.

We may disclose your information to service providers who perform business functions on our behalf, or to financial institutions with which we have joint marketing agreements. Services such organizations could perform on our behalf may include, for example, check printing, data processing and analysis, contest supervisions, and surface or e-mail production. We require all ATAX service providers and joint marketers to have written contracts with us that specify appropriate use of your information, require them to safeguard your data, and prohibit them from making unauthorized or unlawful use of your information.

We may disclose your information to affiliates or non-affiliated third parties for other purposes permitted or required by law. Such purposes may include, for example, processing or fulfilling a service you request, or selling or transferring our business or assets.

The IRS requires that we disclose certain information to it in connection with your electronic filing of a tax return. This information may include your internet protocol (IP) address. If you use the IRS filing program through the irs.gov Website, we must disclose this fact to the IRS.

We may disclose your information to affiliates or non-affiliated third parties when we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is required by law. This may occur in connection with a court order, legal process, or other judicial, administrative or investigative proceeding that produces a request for information from ATAX.
