Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week is January 28 to February 1. This annual campaign aims to help consumers be more 
informed about protecting themselves from tax-related identity theft and scams. Tax-related identity theft occurs when 
someone steals a Social Security number and uses it to claim a tax refund or get a job.

The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), part of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
Security Agency (CISA), encourages consumers to review the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) publication Taxes. Security. 
Together. [ https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4524.pdf ], and NCCIC Tips on Preventing and Responding to Identity Theft 
[ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST05-019 ] and IRS and NCCIC Caution Users: Prepare for Heightened Phishing Risk 
This Tax Season [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST15-001 ] for more information.
