Avoid Scams This Tax Season
The beginning of the year also means you’re receiving your tax forms from employers, your mortgage lender and your financial institutions to prepare your taxes. With Stolen Identity Refund Fraud on the rise, experts agree that completing and filing your taxes early is the best way to ensure you’re not a victim.
Stolen Identity Refund Fraud occurs when fraudsters use an individual’s information to file fake federal tax returns that result in a refund. The fraudsters then have the funds mailed or direct deposited to an account they control. Filing your taxes as early as possible lowers your chances of being a victim.
