Many victims of identity theft don’t know they’ve been compromised until it’s too late. Stolen identities are becoming more and more common in this rapidly expanding digital age. Nobody is immune, including dentists. Keeping up-to-date with identity theft trends can help protect you. With tax season upon us, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released a series of video tax tips designed to provide people critical information to help protect their tax and financial data.
