Attorney general: It’s tax season; beware of scams [The Albany Herald, Ga.] Feb. 4—ATLANTA — With tax season approaching, Attorney General Chris Carr is encouraging Georgia taxpayers to protect themselves from tax-related scams and tax identity theft. “As Georgians prepare to file their taxes this year, we are offering a few tips and warnings to protect them from con artists who may try to swindle Georgia taxpayers out of their hard-earned money,” Attorney General Chris Carr said. “The Department of Revenue continuously adapts our fraud management system to catch tax identity theft and tax fraud once returns are filed,” Revenue Commissioner David Curry said. “However, I would like to strongly encourage taxpayers to help combat this problem by learning how to protect their information and by doing their due diligence to ensure they are entrusting their confidential taxpayer information to a reputable tax professional.”
