12-24.011: Public Use Forms
PURPOSE AND EFFECT: Section 1, Chapter 2009-237, L.O.F., requires agencies to identify in writing the specific federal or state laws governing the collection, use, and release of social security numbers. Social security numbers are used by the Florida Department of Revenue as unique identifiers for the administration of Florida’s taxes. Social security numbers that are obtained for tax administration purposes continue to remain confidential under Sections 213.053 and 119.071, F.S., and are not subject to disclosure as public records. The Department has updated the information regarding the collection of social security numbers as unique identifiers for tax administration purposes. The purpose of proposed amendments to Rule 12-24.011, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), is to adopt, by reference, changes that will update the privacy notice statement on Form DR-600 (Enrollment and Authorization for e-Services Program), used by the Department in the administration of the e-Services Program for paying taxes and filing returns electronically.
SUMMARY: The proposed amendments to Rule 12-24.011, F.A.C. (Public Use Forms), update the privacy statement regarding the collection, use, and release of social security numbers required by Chapter 2009-237, L.O.F., on Form DR-600 (Enrollment and Authorization for e-Services Program).
