IRS Urges Taxpayers to Avoid Becoming Victims of Tax Scams. Taxpayers should be wary of unscrupulous promoters deceiving them including identity theft.Perspectives:
When you use a Tax Preparer in your Income Tax Filing make sure that their PTIN appears on your document.
Work only with someone who is a legitimate Tax Preparer or with someone you know and trust when having your Tax Documents prepared by another person.
