Did you know that you can be a victim of tax identity theft? Most taxpayers don’t discover they are a victim of this crime until they file their tax returns.

I have great news!!! The IRS is encouraging everyone to file for an “Identity Protection PIN”. This PIN offers additional protection for your Social Security number on your tax return. See the links for more info.
