Protect Your Personal Information During Tax Season

Practical ways to reduce risk when sharing tax documents.

Verify who you are speaking with

Before opening links or sharing records, confirm the preparer's official contact information through a trusted channel.

Use secure transfer methods

Ask for an approved secure document portal. Avoid sending Social Security numbers, bank details, or identity documents in public chat windows.

Be alert to unexpected requests

Unexpected messages asking for urgent payment or personal data deserve extra scrutiny. If unsure, contact your tax preparer directly using a known number.
