Beware of New Tax Laws

• Countless people in Fort Lauderdale look forward
  to receiving a refund from Uncle Sam. Many file
  their taxes as early as possible to take
  advantage of their refunds. However, before you
  start making plans to purchase a new car or book
  that dream vacation, two important factors could
  delay the process.
• Effective in 2017, a new tax law will require the
  IRS to hold refunds for many early filers who
  claim the earned income tax credit and additional
  child tax credit.
• The new law also requires the government to hold
  the entire refund until at least February 15
  instead of just a portion for those specific tax
  credits.

The Consequences of Identity Theft and Fraud

• Identity theft is one of the fastest growing
  crimes in Fort Lauderdale. Although technology is
  meant to make life better and easier, more
  thieves and criminals are using highly
  sophisticated methods to steal money and personal
  information from unsuspecting victims--particularl
  y the elderly.
• The IRS and Florida tax authorities have
  implemented new safeguards designed to review tax
  returns more thoroughly to prevent fraud.
• While it may result in the delay of your tax
  refund, the benefits certainly outweigh its
  inconvenience.
