So, what can you do to protect yourself?

  • Trust your gut, if something seems too good to be true it probably is. Don’t let someone encourage you to lie or file false information.
  • Don’t give your personal information out to just anyone. The IRS and other reputable businesses and government agencies will never solicit your personal information through e-mail.
  • Do your homework and choose a reputable business to prepare your taxes. H&S Companies has been providing professional tax and accounting services for 29 years. Our professionals are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and honest. We will work with you to ensure you receive the return you deserve.
