Common questions: sending tax returns securely, unlocking a bank statement PDF for prep, and policy-compliant sharing.

Outbound

Apply a shared passphrase policy for K-1 books or engagement appendices before email or portal upload.

Inbound

Compliance note

Follow firm policy and jurisdictional rules; passwords improve casual confidentiality but are not a substitute for a full secure portal when required.
