Secure email?

Dumb question: What's the best way to email a tax document securely? I am assuming I shouldn't just send a pdf attachment in my gmail account.

Encrypt and password protect the PDF. Go to File > Properties > Security

Your accountant may have a secure upload website...ask them. My last two accountants did.

The most secure way to get a tax document to your accountant is to hand deliver it.

You can also use a free service. I use https://www.virtru.com/

Flash drive


Accountants are generally so backward when it comes to technology that I'd be more concerned with how they store the information once it gets there!

My accountant sends me encrypted PDFs, so I'm cautiously optimistic that they also store them that way in the office.

I have also been using DropBox.

My husband just yesterday scanned a tax document at the front desk of his hotel in Athens.
I hope I will not be writing about identity theft a few months from now....
