The IRS issued a news release announcing a restructuring of its public-private partnership with Security Summit partners to strengthen protections and enhance information sharing across the tax system to combat identity theft and related fraud. The new structure establishes five focused work groups addressing pre-filing detection, forecasting emerging fraud schemes, proactive fraud prevention, detection and reporting of fraud indicators, and incident response. The IRS stated that the enhanced collaboration will place particular emphasis on payroll partners, whose data has increasingly become a target for cybercriminal activity. [IR-2026-75, 06/08/26]
