Tax identity theft can victimize businesses as well as individuals. Perpetrators might file fraudulent returns using your organization’s employer identification number. Or they may impersonate your executives to steal employee W-2 data and create new, “synthetic” identities to file returns and apply for credit. To help prevent financial losses and the inconvenience of repairing your business’s reputation, safeguard data with robust cybersecurity software, complex passwords and comprehensive employee antifraud training. If you receive an IRS notice saying your return has been rejected, investigate immediately. Or ask for our help.
