Tax season has officially started, so you should prepare to file your 2024 tax return.

File early, or use an IRS pin, to cut down on tax-related identity theft.

Taxpayers should avoid unethical "ghost" return preparers who don't sign or include a valid preparer tax identification number (PTIN) on every tax return they prepare.

The IRS might call to discuss your case, verify information or set up a meeting, but it won't be unsolicited.

The best advice is not to click on random links contained in an email or text, even if it's from someone you think you recognize.

Don't rush to claim offers about tax refunds, credits and payments.
