IRS extends pilot program that allows filers of certain information returns to truncate social security numbers on paper payee statements

The IRS has issued an extension and modification of the pilot program announced in IRS Notice 2009-93 under which filers of information returns could truncate an individual payee's nine-digit identifying number on paper payee statements for calendar years 2009 and 2010 if certain requirements were met. The pilot program applied only to paper payee statements in the Form 1098 series, Form 1099 Series, and Form 5498 series.

The IRS has extended the pilot program for paper payee statements furnished for calendar years 2011 and 2012 to allow the IRS and taxpayers more time to evaluate the program. The IRS has also modified the requirements by excluding Form 1098-C (Contributions of Motor Vehicles, Boats, and Airplanes) from the pilot program. The IRS invites the public to submit comments on the pilot program by July 29, 2011.
