Industry data says the firms it applies to are mostly two-person shops. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug 07, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — If you prepare tax returns for a living, federal law counts you as a financial institution. Same category as a bank.

Under GLBA, tax and accounting professionals are considered financial institutions and must implement a data security plan, which puts them under the Federal Trade Commission...

At the same time, the Social Security system is facing long-term financial pressure. It is projected that by 2034, the Social Security trust fund may be able to pay only about 83% of scheduled benefits. For a growing number of retirees, Social Security remains an important source of income, but relying on benefits alone is becoming increasingly insufficient ...
