Bill Summary
Taxpayer Identity Protection Act of 2015 This bill amends the Internal Revenue Code to require the statement reporting wages and other tax information to show an identifying number for the employee (current law requires the employee's social security number).
AI Summary
This bill, the Taxpayer Identity Protection Act of 2015, amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to require employers to use an "identifying number" for employees on Form W2 wage and tax statements, instead of the employee's Social Security number (SSN). This change is intended to enhance taxpayer identity protection by potentially allowing for truncated or masked SSNs on these important tax documents, which report an individual's earnings and taxes withheld for the year.
