MEMBER TIP
AVOID TAX SEASON PHISHING SCAMS
By UHY LLP, Ceritfied Public Accountants 

As tax season rages on, cyber criminals are targeting taxpayers with new scams. After a 60 percent jump in so-called phishing scams in 2018, the IRS is warning us to be extra vigilant this year. Hackers are using the advancements in technology to target taxpayers year-round but tax season is prime phishing season. 

Scammers imitate the IRS, TurboTax and other tax preparation companies in an effort to gain sensitive information. 

Read more for some tips to help prevent tax season scams in 2019.
