A person exists for every individual or business with which your company has contact. Besides taxpayers, persons exist for contractors, accountants at corporate taxpayers, third party guarantors, collection agencies, etc.
On a person is maintained demographic information like Name, Mailing Address, Phone Numbers, Email Address, etc.
Most persons are linked to at least one account because, without an account, the person cannot have financial interactions with the tax authority.
Refer to Maintaining Persons for more information about persons.
