Believe it or not, inverting
numbers is Public Enemy Number 1# says David Selig of Selig & Associates.
This faux pas happens frequently
and with simple calculations, dates of birth and Social Security Numbers.
After that are misspelled
names and nicknames. The government is cracking down on identity theft, and
misspelled names are suspicious, and may indicate fraud. Accordingly, this simple
mistake can take months to correct, says Selig.
A lot of people like to
receive their tax refund via “direct
deposit”. But be careful advises Selig, and make sure you provide the correct
routing number, or suffer the consequences. I’ve heard plenty of horror stories about the
government depositing refunds into the wrong bank account.
Lastly, be sure to include
every 1099 you receive, or pay the piper. And don’t forget to keep a copy of
your tax return with your important papers.
