One
of several identity theft scams IRS Commissioner John A. Koskinen spoke about at
a recent IRS Nationwide Tax Forum is a client email hack scam. This
happens when a thief
uses
a taxpayer's email address to send an email to a tax preparer with instructions
to redirect refunds into a different bank account.
Protect your tax returns
this tax season by ensuring your email accounts and important data is kept safe
with strong passwords, malware protection and other security measures.
