FAQ
Is it safe to enter my social security number?
Yes. SafeSend Returns offers a secure system to access and review your tax return(s). Look for https:// at the beginning of the site URL and a locked padlock symbol in your browser’s URL bar to confirm you are on the secure site. Additional information regarding SafeSend’s security can be found here.
How does SafeSend generate the identity verification questions?
SafeSend Returns uses Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) questions to verify your identity. These questions are pulled from a number of public record sources, including credit report agencies, rideshare services, and cellphone providers. SafeSend uses a third party, LexisNexis, to generate questions. Because of this, neither Mathieson, Moyski, Austin & Co nor SafeSend can change the KBA questions generated.
You may experience ‘Red Herring’ questions. These are questions that are designed to trick any fraudulent attempts but which the legitimate taxpayer would recognize as nonsensical and answer none of the above.
What happens if I fail my KBA Questions?
If you are unable to answer 3 of the 5 KBA questions correctly, you will not be allowed to e-sign your e-file authorization forms. You will instead need to download the forms and manually sign them. You can either upload the signed forms to your SafeSend return, or mail them to our office.
Does SafeSend e-file my return too?
No, SafeSend will NOT file your return with the IRS. Mathieson, Moyski, Austin & Co will be notified when all required signatures have been completed and file the return on your behalf.
Can I sign my dependent’s return electronically?
We can delivery your dependent’s return(s) via SafeSend, but they may not be eligible to e-sign. Most dependents do not have sufficient data available to successfully generate KBA questions. In this case, you will have to manually sign and upload the e-file authorization forms to SafeSend. Click here for more information about manually signing returns.
