Tax Lot Report Redaction with anonym.plus

Finance Solution · Wealth & Asset Management · SEC Reg S-P (17 CFR 248)

Tax lot report redaction is the removal of personal data from a cost-basis schedule under SEC Reg S-P (17 CFR 248). The Safeguards Rule asks a firm to protect nonpublic personal information. anonym.plus marks each identifier on your device, so the lots stay while the data goes.

When this applies

A cost-basis schedule ties the owner's identity to lot dates and gains. You trim that identity under Reg S-P before a tax preparer sees it.

How anonym.plus handles it

1. Open the schedule in anonym.plus on your device.
2. Local OCR reads scanned broker pages.
3. The tool flags name, SSN, and account numbers.
4. Keep the lot dates, basis, and gain columns.
5. Swap or black out the marked items.
6. Save the clean copy locally.

What you need to provide

• The cost-basis schedule (PDF, CSV, or scan).
• An operator (Replace keeps the columns readable).
• Optional allow-list for ticker symbols.

PII & financial identifiers detected

Compliance achieved

• Supports the safeguard duty under SEC Reg S-P (17 CFR 248).
• Keeps lot dates, basis, and gains for the preparer.
• Offline work keeps holder data inside the firm.

Limitations & cautions

A rare lot in a thin holding can hint at one owner even with names gone. The tool flags named items, not unique lots. Review the schedule before you hand it off.
