TMTW#349-Equifax breach of 143 Million American’s financial information

Tax and Money Tip of the Week:
Equifax breach of 143 Million American’s financial info – What to consider doing.
September 20, 2017 | No. 349

Here is my research and all of you should consider a fraud alert on your credit as a good first step:

https://www.experian.com/blogs/ask-experian/place-fraud-alert-each-credit-reporting-company/

You only need to do it with one of the agencies. Experian, Transunion, or Equifax.

2nd step:
Consider ID protection. ID Shield is one of many companies that provide ID monitoring.  An example of their cost is $9.95/month for 1 person; $19.95/month for your entire family.

3rd step:
Consider placing a 60 day credit freeze on your credit account. (The US Dept of State is recommending this as a first step Friday on CNBC).

Don’t Miss the September 15th Deadline

Tax and Money Tip this Week:
Don’t Miss the September 15th Deadline
September 6, 2017 | No. 347

Final Filing Deadline Reminder

If you need to file a Form 1065 (partnership return), Form 1120S (S corporation return) or Form 1041 (fiduciary return), the deadline to file your 2016 return is September 15, 2017.  This assumes you had filed for an extension prior to April 15, 2017.

If you put your personal tax return on extension (Form 1040), you still have until October 17, 2017 to timely file your 2016 return.

As a reminder, putting your tax returns on extension can be a good thing—but penalties to miss the extension deadline can be steep.

Give us a call if you need help meeting your deadlines.
