  • Cybersecurity Resources
    With more and more people turning to remote work options in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, cybersecurity has never been more important.

    In fact, Accounting Today reported that the IRS warned tax professionals Wednesday (3/18/20) of a new phishing email scam targeting them. The IRS is urging tax professionals to beware and follow some security steps to safeguard their clients and businesses.

    The steps include:

    Use the multifactor authentication option offered by tax prep software to protect accounts from unauthorized access.
    Use strong password protections on all devices.
    Never open suspicious emails, links and attachments that may carry malware.
    Use strong security software and keep it updated.
    We’ve pulled together more in-depth resources to help you navigate cybersecurity.
