Dad gave me some money last year, now his tax guy wants my social security number, even though the amount is 1) far below the threshold for gift taxes and 2) The recipient doesn't pay gift tax. My doctor's office recently got hacked and lost all their patients' personally identifying information, and now I'm supposed to give my social security number to some fucknut tax accountant?
I kind of want to ask to see the results of their latest privacy/cyber security audit (which most likely doesn't exist) before I give them that information, but I also want my dad to get his taxes filed in a timely manner.
