Putting You First: Tax time help
WROC Rochester First
It's that time of year – tax time. The W-2 forms are rolling in, and many people are making sure they have everything in place to file their taxes. But you may have some questions – especially as there are some changes this year. This is the first year that New York State is requiring information from your driver’s license. They say it’s another step to ensure the authenticity of your return, and to prevent fraud. If your social security number has been compromised, identity thieves can’t e-file a tax return without your driver’s license number – preventing them from stealing your refund.
