Criminal Record & FBI Record Requirements

The Internal Revenue Services (IRS) recently updated and released its Publication 1075, Tax Information Security Guidelines for Federal, State, and Local Agencies; effective September 30, 2016. This update included new requirements for background investigations for new and existing employees accessing or using federal tax information. Background investigations for any individual granted access to FTI must include, at a minimum:

FBI fingerprinting (FD-258) - review of Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint results conducted to identify possible suitability issues.
Check of local law enforcement agencies where the subject has lived, worked, and/or attended school within the last 5 years, and if applicable, of the appropriate agency for any identified arrests. (The local law enforcement check will assist agencies in identifying trends of misbehavior that may not rise to the criteria for reporting to the FBI database.)
Citizenship/Residency - Validate eligibility to legally work in the United States.

As a condition of employment to ensure suitability for exposure to confidential information, all Department employees shall be subject to initial checks and periodic re-checks of their criminal background history, which may include an FBI background review, a state background review, and a check with local law enforcement agencies. The receipt of an unfavorable result may be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
