Tax Scam

Friday, 10 April 2015

With the tax-filing deadline almost here some Charleston residents are running into problems. Hackers are making it hard for some to file taxes and get a return! Hackers are somehow getting the personal information of Charleston residents including social security numbers. I learned today, many of those affected are faculty and staff members at a local university. News Watch also spoke with another victim today who didn't want to go on camera. She did tell us the IRS has a tax fraud form victims must fill out and it's on their website; you need to search for form 14039. Again if you are a victim contact police and contact the IRS for further instruction.
