and be suspicious if your tax preparer doesn't did for receipts. if your preparer doesn't ask enough questions about deductions, credits, that could be a warning sign that something is wrong. also, never sign a blank tax return. since tax time is also prime season for identity theft, never give your personal information over the phone or on line unless you started the conversation and can confirm the identity of your tax professional or an irs employee. some common examples of identity theft from tax returns include finding out that more than one tax return was filed using the same social security. or records indicate you received wages, or other income, from an employer that you didn't work for. and the irs, individual states and the tax industry, have enacted new safeguards to combat tax related identity theft. if you think you may have been the victim after tax scam, i posted what steps to take on cbsphilly.comment i'll be sharing that on facebook and twitter, too.
