We have gotten many calls about the incident with the South Carolina Department of Revenue security breach and we are happy to help as many of you as we possibly can.

In order to assist as many people as possible we will update this blog as official information becomes available.

It appears that as of now if you want to protect your own social security number and the social security numbers of other family members, such as a spouse or elderly parents, you will need to have a separate email address for each social security number.  This appears to be a limitation in the system as of Sunday October 28, 2012. 

We just spoke with a client who was able to use the same email address for both spouses by using a separate userid and password for each spouse.  So it appears that multiple email addresses are not required.

There is a press conference scheduled for Monday October 29, 2012 at 10:00 am.  We recommend that you not take any action until after that press conference and perhaps the situation will be a little less confusing.
