Watch out for tax scams

We all know the significance of April 15th. It's the date taxes are due. Many of wait till the last moment to file, and probably even more of us spend our refund (if we get one) before the check arrives.

Tax time is also a good time to be aware of potential scams related to the IRS. There have been many phishing and other IRS scams over the years.

However, the IRS does not use email to initiate contact with taxpayers. Knowing that could be your best defense. To learn more go to this IRS page about phishing and the IRS. Maybe you can read it on your mobile device as you wait on line at the Post Office to get that all important April 15th postmark on you return.
