Masking

[PulaskiBoy]

When I print my client’s filing copy, client copy, and preparer copy, I select Mask Sensitive Data for the client copy.  However, Form 8879 is not masked, which seems counter-intuitive.  How do I send the client home with a masked copy to prevent identity theft?  When the client is in front of me, and I want them to sign Form 8879, I can print it from the preparer copy or by Print Selected Forms, which is not masked.  The way it is now, if I want the client copy to be masked, I need to take a black marker and redact the first five numbers of the social.  My suggestion for enhancement is if I select Mask Sensitive Data for my client copy, all sensitive information will be masked.

Thanks for the idea to Mask all sensitive information if user selects "Mask sensitive data" on form 8879 . We are changing the status to "Open for voting".

Please please PLEASE allow for the option of masking sensitive data on the 8879s in Proseries!  Drake and ATX offers this.  To protect taxpayer information, hours of extra time has to be implemented each tax season by our staff to mask this in Adobe instead of a one-click solution in Proseries.
