Community and technology education are our strongest values, and a big part of our Ekaru mission.

 


In January, you received your tax return documents with a deadline completion set for April 15, 2026. But did you know, waiting last minute to do your taxes could put your personal information more at risk falling into the hands of a hacker? Raising the chances of identity theft and tax fraud under your name by hackers for malicious financial gain.

In our March webinar, we will discuss the risks of tax season, the benefits of filing taxes early, and essential cybersecurity tips you can use in your current or next Tax Return cycle.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

 

Benefits to Filing Taxes Early

  •  Beat Scammers: As soon as you fill in your tax forms, you are helping guard yourself from potential identity theft cases.

  • Made a Mistake? You Have time To Adjust: Sometimes, folks may not fill their taxes early as they are waiting for another document that will allow them to complete their returns. 

  • Digital route is more ideal than paper route.

     

Cybersecurity Tips

  • Scammers ramp up phishing emails, fake IRS phone calls, and fraudulent tax prep websites during filing season.

  • Staying alert and proactive can dramatically reduce your risk of becoming a victim.

  • Using strong, unique passwords for tax software and financial accounts.

  • Verify websites before entering information. Make sure the URL is accurate, as scammers will create fake domains in hopes of tricking you into giving your information. 
  • Secure your Wi-Fi network with updated encryption and avoid filing taxes on public Wi-Fi.
  • Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for unusual activity.
