E-File Magic 2.4 and above supports the encryption of your recipients TaxID, Name1, Name2, and Address fields in the database that is stored on your computer. When activated this information is automatically encrypted using the Department of Defense recommended AES-256 algorithm. E-File Magic believes the security of your information is paramount. To that end, if your computer is lost or stolen, or your database file goes missing, having recipient encryption enabled will help mitigate any potential loss of sensitive information.

To enable this feature, navigate to the 'Config' menu and select 'Enable Encryption'. The software will prompt you for a password. Make SURE you choose a password you will REMEMBER! If you loose or forget your password, we cannot assist you in recovering your data.

This is just another step we've taken to help safeguard your information.
