Employee benefits

The Internal Revenue Service and its partners in the tax industry and state tax authorities issued a warning Monday about a wave of e-mails from cybercriminals purporting to come from “IRS Refunds.”

The Big Four firm announced a slew of employee benefits including reduced hours for new parents and $1K bonuses for all staff members.

The new authentication process that was installed after a big data breach still isn’t protecting taxpayer info.

The Internal Revenue Service cautioned practitioners to be on the alert for the re-emergence of a cybercriminal scam that is helping fuel a dramatic uptick in reports of stolen information from firms.

Sometimes the strategy can eliminate a domino effect of other expensive tax problems down the road, Ed Slott writes.

The Internal Revenue Service is cautioning tax professionals to safeguard their information from identity thieves.

The Internal Revenue Service is beginning to release tax refunds for taxpayers who claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Additional Child Tax Credit after subjecting their tax returns to some extra scrutiny.

The Internal Revenue Service failed to tell nearly half a million victims of identity theft last year their information was being used by others for employment purposes, according to a new report, which attributed the failure to a computer programming error.

The Internal Revenue Service needs to do more to prevent inactive Employer Identification Numbers from being used to commit business identity theft and tax fraud, according to a new government report.

The Internal Revenue Service said Thursday it saw dramatic declines in tax-related identity theft last year, thanks to the effort of the Security Summit, which brings together the IRS with state tax authorities and the tax industry.
