IRS Form 13775 contains the title, "Tax Check Waiver." This form allows the Internal Revenue Service to release your confidential information to an approved requesting party. Companies may require that you fill out this form if you're applying for a high-security job. It is also required when volunteering to serve on any of the IRS's committees, such as the Electronic Tax Administration Advisory Committee.
