DPPD tax time tips
It’s that time of the year to file taxes again. Here are some tips to prevent becoming victims of tax identity theft.
- Be aware of IRS scams; IRS will not ask you to pay over the phone in a form of gift cards/debit cards.
- Avoid carrying your social security card.
- Shred documents containing personal information.
- Ignore threatening calls and texts from criminals posing as IRS or Law Enforcement.
- Be aware of phishing emails and texts. Don’t click on the link when you get a notification for you to log on to verify your information. Verify those information separately by looking up the contact information yourself.
