Pencil laying on 1040 tax form Staying Safe from Tax Scams We received the following very handy and timely article from the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) in regards to staying safe during this season of numbers crunching and record keeping for taxes. As always, if you have any specific tax questions, be sure to consult a tax prep professional. Watch out for these scams Unfortunately, much of your personal information can be gathered from multiple locations online with almost no verification that the right person is receiving the information. Criminals know this and use the information to file a fake tax refund request! If a criminal files a tax return in your name before you do, they will file it with false information to get a large refund, forcing you to go through the arduous process of proving that you did not file the return and subsequently correcting the return. Once they have your personal information, criminals can continue to commit identity theft well beyond the tax season. Another favorite technique used by criminals during the tax season is sending phishing messages indicating that a new copy of your tax form(s) is available. These emails often impersonate state, local, tribal, and territorial government comptroller or IT departments. If you fill out or attempt to login into the phishing website, the criminals will be able to see your login name and password, which they can then use to try and compromise your other accounts. The more information they gather from you, the easier it is for them to use the information to file a fake tax return in your name. Lastly, tax fraudsters also impersonate the IRS and other tax officials to threaten taxpayers with penalties if they do not make an immediate payment. It is important to remember: The IRS will not initiate contact about payment with taxpayers by phone, email, text messages, or social media without sending an official letter in the mail first. The IRS will not call to demand immediate payment over the phone using a specific payment method such as a debit/credit card, a prepaid card, a gift card, or a wire transfer. The IRS will not threaten to immediately notify local police or other law-enforcement agencies to have you arrested for not paying. 4 min read
What is Required to Open a Business Checking Account? It’s standard for a business to have a business checking account. After all, a business needs to handle cash and pay bills. If you’re just starting a business, or even if you’re moving your business bank account to a new institution, you’ll need to show several pieces of documentation. So what is required to open a business checking account? The answer to that question is pretty similar from one bank to another. What You Will Need to Open a Business Checking Account Identifying Documents Confirmation of identity is required to open a business checking account. Bring along a government issued picture ID (e.g. driver’s license, passport) to corroborate your identity with your business’ registered information. Business Licenses Whether you are an LLC or an individual proprietor, bank officials will typically need to see your current business license. Legal Incorporation Documents According to Business News Daily, it is essential to bring along state-filed articles of incorporation in order to open a business checking account. If a business has numerous owners or operates on a board-advisory basis, the bank will require documentation granting the account opener the right to access funds and transactions. DBA Name Registration If you are DBA, doing business as a fictitious name, the law requires you to register that name with the state. Photocopy and keep this registration for your records, as you will need it to get started with business banking. Tax Identification Number Your business’ employment identification number, also known as the tax identification number, is a key tool for tax management and paying employees. Make sure to bring this to your business banking appointment. If you are a sole proprietor, you can use your own social security number for business tax purposes. These are the documents typically required to open a business checking account, though requirements may vary by state. However, by contacting your bank, you can easily determine what you need to have on hand to open your company’s checking account.
