Local H&R Block associates will be at each location to provide free advice to taxpayers on how best to protect their information.

During tax season, taxpayers often question what tax and financial documents they should shred, discard or keep. 

Additionally, while cyber attacks pose a major threat, not all attackers are found online.

They can sift through trash and recycling bins to hunt for personal information like a name, address and Social Security number and use what they’ve found to file fraudulent tax returns. 

Shredding personal documents can help prevent personal information getting into the wrong hands.
