Securing Your Electronic Personal and Financial Data

As part of the Security Awareness Tax Tips Program, the IRS, state taxing authorities and the tax industry have recently published some simple tips to better protect your personal and financial data online and at home. They also describe the signs which may evidence that you possibly already are a victim of tax-related identity theft.

Although some of the tips provided here may seem “basic,” current events have shown that not all of us have heeded the advice. Later in this eNewsletter, we will provide you with links to secure websites for some more information on safeguarding your personal information.
