With holiday shopping in full swing and tax season just around the corner, the risk of identity theft rises. Scammers often ramp up efforts this time of year to steal personal information and use it to file fraudulent tax returns and claim refunds. Filing your taxes early is one of the best ways to protect against tax-related identity theft. Early filing can also mean faster refunds, more time to pay and less stress. You might even avoid needing to file an extension. Plus, if big milestones like buying a house are coming up, filing early provides the financial information and proof of income you need to move forward. We can help you get a head start when tax filing season opens in January.
