Warning:

Tax scammers now vary their cons, according to the IRS. Crooks now pretend to be from the IRS, offer fake badge numbers, and warn that if back taxes and penalties are not paid right now you will be arrested. The caller threatens to send the local police or sheriff to arrest you. Soon after, you get a follow-up call from the crook’s cohort claiming to be some kind of law enforcement officer who is on his way to arrest you.While the crooks have you on the phone, they will obtain personal data or induce you to pay, usually by buying a specific type of prepaid payment card, then calling the crooks back and giving them the information needed to charge the card.The crooks used to call immigrants or the elderly. Now, the IRS says they call businesses and even tax professionals.

Returned checks
When the bank notifies you that it is returning a customer’s check for NSF (not sufficient funds), debit the customer’s account immediately

This can protect you if an employee tries to use fictitious checks to cover temporary shortages

Rules on requesting employees’
Social Security card:

2. After someone is hired, you can request a Social Security card to copy for payroll records. A good time to request it is when a new hire submits his or her W-4. If the W-4 is submitted with the I-9, have someone else in your firm request the Social Security card so you are not accused of requesting the Social Security card for I-9 purposes.

Rules on requesting employees’
Social Security card:

1. You may not request the documents listed on Form I-9 that applicants can use as proof of identity to establish their right to work in the U.S. Applicants must choose these of their own volition. If they submit a Social Security card, you can make a copy; if they do not, you cannot ask for it.
