    Did you mean: 

    Can I do a partial masking of PII on returns so only the last 4 or 5 digits show?

    At one point I was able to see a partial masking but now it's either completely masked or all info shows.  Clients prefer partial showing of info but not completely.

    not sure what "PII" means but ProSeries offers mask sensitive data or not.  There are no options within those choices.

    Personally Identifiable Information?


    The more I know the more I don’t know.

    Yes.  Personally identifiable information.  Soc Sec  #s,  EIN, PTIN, etc.  example: Before when masking I was able to see: xxx-xx-1234

    now it shows either fully masked xxx-xx-xxxx  or unmasked 123-45-6789

    Any way to get it to show xxx-xx-1234?

    Thx
