ONLY TRUST www.irs.gov

I am seeing some
advertisers on my site that are not familiar. The best way to get to a Secured site; like a tax preparation site, you want to go directly to that site.

I. Safety tip! when you look at the Title of a Site you are Searching, it may say File Free Here on the top, but where it says www. there will be the site name ie; irs and since it is a government agency - .gov. Misleading sites will say www. freeirs. com, leading you to think it is irs. The name of the business or agency should be the First Thing after www or don't go there.

II. A site is secure (safe from normal to high intrusion attempts), when the browser address [example: http://www.yahoo.com/yadayada] that is standard. Secure is https://www.taxslayer.com with a padlock on the browser. Continue to check for the "s" at the end of the http_. You are then secure.
