Most small business owners know to watch out for scams targeting their personal information. But did you know your business can be a target for tax identity theft too?

Criminals can use stolen EINs, payroll information, or fake tax filings to commit fraud, and many businesses do not realize there’s an issue until the IRS sends a notice or rejects a return.

A few simple security habits can go a long way in helping protect your business. We’re sharing common warning signs, practical prevention tips, and what to do if something feels off.

When most people hear “identity theft,” they think about stolen Social Security numbers or tax refunds. But small businesses are targets too.

Be sure to check out these important May deadlines but while you’re planning ahead, there are a few other things individuals and small business owners may want to keep on their radar this month too.

• If you’re on extension, now’s the time to start gathering your information instead of waiting until later in the year
• Still waiting on your refund? The IRS “Where’s My Refund?” tool can help you track its status
• Watch out for scams — the IRS will never contact you by phone, email, or text asking for payment or personal information
• Planning for summer camps or childcare? Some expenses may qualify for tax benefits
• Hiring teens or seasonal employees this summer? Make sure you’re aware of federal and state labor law requirements before bringing employees on board

A little planning in May can help set you up for a smoother summer ahead!
