Wow, is it tax time already? You may be among the many people who get organized early and file their taxes well before the deadline.
For the rest of us, April 18th is the deadline for filing taxes this year (the 15th is a Saturday).
Tax time can be stressful in a number of ways, and one of them is the possibility of identity theft in the tax preparation process.
The Oregon Department of Revenue issues warnings about how to avoid such theft. A department representative joins us with details, which include the following links:
- Federal Trade Commission identity theft site
- Internal Revenue Service identity theft site
- Oregon Department of Revenue site
- California Department of Revenue site
- And a phone number for Oregon DOR: 503-947-2000
