It’s that time of year again. The US and Canadian tax payers are bending over to grab their ankles as it’s time to pay the tax man. This year more people than ever before are going to be filing their returns electronically in both countries. Be sure to be on your guard for phishers this year as they will no doubt be going out of their way to relieve you of your bank account. Here is a quote from the IRS commissioner,
“We don’t contact taxpayers via e-mail,” says commissioner Mark Everson. “We contact them sometimes by telephone, but usually in writing. So we just plain don’t get in touch with anyone via e-mail, especially, on anything like refunds.”
The same can be said of Revenue Canada. Be careful out there in the void.
