Prevent Tax ID Theft

In the U.S., the tax deadline is approaching. Many wait until the last minute to file.

There's a reason to file early that becomes more and more important each year: Tax ID Theft

Sure, you shred all your documents, keep your anti-virus up to date, and do business with reputable companies.

BUT! Even reputable companies and the U.S. government and local agencies can get HACKED!

One of the best ways to defeat a tax id fraudster is simply to beat them in the race to get filed. The IRS will flag a second hit on the same SSN and the fraudster will likely move on to easier targets.

I've covered this concept before, but I think we need to look at it every year to keep each other vigilant! See more at http://accountabilityteam.com/tax-advice/118
