E-filing saves you time and gets you your refund faster. However, you also run the risk of identity theft when you're transmitting sensitive financial and personal information over the Internet. It's important to know exactly how to protect yourself when you file your tax forms, and how to identify whether an e-filing service is safe or not.
Look for encrypted data technology on the website. One of the easiest ways to tell whether a site has encryption or not is to look for a padlock icon displayed in your web browser. This makes it harder for a hacker to retrieve your data. Use a secure password when you set up your e-filing account so they can't simply log in to get your information. Finally, use reputable services that have recommendations and positive reviews.
