NEW FROM IRS: NOVEMBER 5, 2018 Get Ready for Taxes: Renew expiring ITINs now to file a return next year : IR-2018-214... WASHINGTON The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers with expiring Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to submit their renewal applications as soon as possible. Failing to renew them by the end of this year will cause refund and processing delays in 2019. This is the second in a series of reminders to help taxpayers get ready for the upcoming tax filing season. Additionally, the IRS has recently updated a special page on its website with steps to take now for the 2019 tax filing season. The IRS mailed more than 1.3 million letters to taxpayer households that include an ITIN holder with middle digits 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 81 or 82. Affected taxpayers who expect to file a tax return in 2019 should submit a renewal application now. To help taxpayers, the IRS has prepared a variety of informational materials, including flyers and fact sheets, available in several languages on IRS.gov. In addition to English and Spanish, ITIN materials are available in Chinese, Korean, Haitian Creole, Russian and Vietnamese. Those who must renew their ITIN can choose to renew their family’s ITINs together, even if family members have an ITIN with middle digits other than 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 81 or 82. Family members include the tax filer, spouse and any dependents claimed on the tax return. Who needs an ITIN? ITINs are used by people who have tax filing requirements under U.S. law but are not eligible for a Social Security number. ITIN holders should visit the ITIN information page on IRS.gov and take a few minutes to read and understand the guidelines. Taxpayers who are eligible for a Social Security number (SSN) should not apply for or renew an ITIN. They should notify IRS of both their SSN and previous ITIN so their accounts can be merged.

Hang up on spoofed SSA calls Share this page Facebook Twitter... Linked-In October 29, 2018 by Lisa Weintraub Schifferle Attorney, FTC, Division of Consumer & Business Education If you get a call that looks like it’s from the Social Security Administration (SSA), think twice. Scammers are spoofing SSA’s 1-800 customer service number to try to get your personal information. Spoofing means that scammers can call from anywhere, but they make your caller ID show a different number often one that looks legit. Here are few things you should know about these so-called SSA calls. These scam calls are happening across the nation, according to SSA: Your phone rings. Your caller ID shows that it’s the SSA calling from 1-800-772-1213. The caller says he works for the Social Security Administration and needs your personal information like your Social Security number to increase your benefits payments. (Or he threatens to cut off your benefits if you don’t give the information.) But it’s not really the Social Security Administration calling. Yes, it is the SSA’s real phone number, but the scammers on the phone are spoofing the number to make the call look real. What can you do if you get one of these calls? Hang up. Remember: SSA will not threaten you. Real SSA employees will never threaten you to get personal information. They also won’t promise to increase your benefits in exchange for information. If they do, it’s a scam. If you have any doubt, hang up and call SSA directly. Call 1-800-772-1213 that really is the phone number for the Social Security Administration. If you dial that number, you know who you’re getting. But remember that you can’t trust caller ID. If a call comes in from that number, you can’t be sure it’s really SSA calling. If you get a spoofed call, report it. If someone calls, claiming to be from SSA and asking for information like your Social Security number, report it to SSA’s Office of Inspector General at 1-800-269-0271 or https://oig.ssa.gov/report. You can also report these calls to the FTC at ftc.gov/complaint.

DID YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU PAY YOUR BILLS AFTER THE DUE DATE, EVEN IF YOU PAY DURING THE GRACE PERIOD, IT IS STILL CONSIDER A LATE PAYMENT? AND CREDIT BUSINESSES USE THAT INFORMATION TO CHARGE HIGHER INTEREST RATES. YOU CAN BOOST YOUR CREDIT SCORE BY PAYING YOUR BILLS ON TIME; THAT MEANS PAYING YOUR BILL ON OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE. THIS WILL NOT ONLY BOOST YOUR CREDIT SCORE, BUT IT WILL ALSO SAVE YOU MONEY BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GET A LOWER INTEREST RATE ON LOANS AND CHARGE CARD PURCHASES. SO, BE A BOSS; AND TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR CREDIT. PAY YOUR BILLS ON OR BEFORE THE DUE DATE.
