It’s important to stay safe and protected this tax season, and the DATCP and DOR are here to help.
Tax-related identity theft is one thing to look out for and is when someone takes one’s Social Security number to either steal someone’s job income through the IRS or swipe a tax refund.
It might not be caught until the IRS flags a peculiar income or extra tax fillings.
But Wisconsin’s DATCP and DOR can help keep all information on lockdown.
To dodge these identity hijackers, who are getting more difficult to track each year, keep digits off your devices, lockdown your mailbox or have a PO box, and shred any documents that entail personal details.
If something seems off with your tax ID, it’s important to contact the Wisconsin DOR as soon as possible to help with any possible issues.
