Watch the mail at Tax Time
Tuesday, January 15, 2008
Our friends at Privacy Rights Clearinghouse have issued an important alert warning you to watch your mail at Tax Time. Your mailbox now is "a treasure trove for identity thieves," according the nonprofit education and advocacy organization. The group notes: "A typical information return notice has your non-truncated Social Security number as well as the name of your employer, your bank, mutual fund, or stock broker."
