Is personal identifying information provided on an exempt organization return subject to public disclosure?

Yes.  To protect personal information, do not include any personal identifying information not required by the IRS on your forms.

Protect Personal Information

By law, the IRS and the filer must make exemption applications and many returns filed by exempt organizations publicly available. Documents subject to disclosure include supporting documents filed with, and correspondence with the IRS about, the filing. For this reason, exempt organizations should not include any personal identifying information, such as social security and bank account numbers not required by the IRS, on these forms.
