A lot of accounting firms have outsourced branches in countries like India where privacy laws are weak or not enforced at all. What would the situation be in theis case? When the W-2 is sent abroad where there is no duty of confidentiality. | |

| Jul 2, 2022 at 19:54 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | Obviously some people in the company have to have access to the W-2 and the associated data (to produce the form, to audit the records, etc). Why should an accountant not be included? | |
