And as we know there are many methods for filing taxes and one that has taken hold with increasingly better technology is the ability to file your taxes digitally. Maybe you have already done this in the past or are considering giving it a try. Before you do, here are a few safety tips whether it is your first time or you took hold of this method from the beginning. 1. CLEAN IT UP. Run anti-malware software prior to beginning. This can eliminate and find loopholes that may have been opened up on your computer, removing all sorts of risk to your identity or information. 2. BRING IT UP TO DATE. Be sure that your purchase any tax software that your computer is capable of supporting the program. Pay attention to the list of programs, often given with the software, and check your information as well. 3. HAVE A BACK UP PLAN. External hard drives or USB sticks may be used to store sensitive information away from the computer. This is good as it makes it much more difficult for hackers to steal or to be lost should your hard computer crash. 4. WATCH OUT. Be sure that when you files taxes online you are using a legitimate website. An example might be IRS.gov, and notIRS. Check and double check.
