Protect information in this agreement
A taxpayer identification number or payment instruction may appear in the completed agreement, so restrict document access to authorized finance staff. A signer may approve direct payment without reviewing tax periods, assessed amounts, or payment terms; require a deliberate review before signature. Sending the agreement to an unverified email address can expose taxpayer information and weaken evidence connecting the signature to the intended signer. Shared links without expiration or identity checks can permit unauthorized access to a document authorizing direct payment of taxes or assessments.
