Open official routeOur security standard
We treat trust as infrastructure. Below is how this product handles sensitive data today—not marketing fluff.
Client-side processing
Recovery plans and case files are generated in your browser. We do not run a database of your SSN, full 14039 answers, or narrative evidence for this tool—those fields never leave your device as part of our processing pipeline.
HTTPS in transit
Sessions use HTTPS between your browser and our edge. Because case files are not uploaded for server-side storage, there is no second hop where we could decrypt your case contents.
SOC 2 & compliance (roadmap)
We are aligning controls and vendors toward SOC 2 Type IIand clearer subprocessors documentation. We do not display an attestation badge until an independent audit is complete—when it is, you'll see it here.
Nothing on this page is legal advice. Encryption and architecture reduce risk; they do not replace your own judgment, counsel, or platform-specific escalation paths.
Identity lockdown
After you dispute the 1099, harden the identity perimeter the IRS and employers rely on.
IRS IP PIN
Opt into the IRS Identity Protection PIN program so fraudulent returns are harder to file in your name next season.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for taxpayers dealing with fraudulent 1099 income.
What is 1099 identity theft?
1099 identity theft happens when someone files gig-economy income under your Social Security number, creating false tax liability in your name.
Does 1099notmine store my SSN or full identity details?
No. The recovery plan and case file are generated locally in your browser, and this flow is designed to avoid storing your full SSN or detailed IRS worksheet data on our servers.
What is included in the case file?
You get a recovery plan, platform submission text, a platform dispute letter where useful, an IRS identity theft worksheet, and a tax preparer memo.
Does the app submit disputes for me?
No. Sensitive ID documents should be submitted only through official platform channels. The app prepares the route, evidence checklist, wording, and follow-up plan.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. 1099notmine provides workflow software and templates, not legal or tax advice. Review filings with a qualified professional.
