Tax season is upon us, bringing not just forms and deadlines, but also a greater risk of identity theft.

Your tax return holds a goldmine for identity thieves – your Social Security number, income details, and more – which cybercriminals can steal and use to file a fraudulent tax return, claim your refund, and leave you with delayed or denied returns and potential tax burdens.

But fear not. LifeLock by Norton makes identity theft protection easy during tax season and beyond providing a variety of services to help protect your identity, such as credit monitoring, identity theft alerts, and identity restoration.
