TIPS TO AVOID TAX SCAMS
Stay ahead of scammers this tax season with these helpful tips. The IRS does not use email, text messages or any social media to discuss personal tax issues involving bills or refunds. The IRS will not call you demanding immediate payment, asking for your credit or debit card numbers or requiring you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. Additionally, the local police or other law-enforcement groups will not be called to have you arrested for not paying. For more information on tax scams, visit irs.gov and type 'scam' in the search box.

COMMUNITY IMPACT
Thank you for making the Georgia United Foundation's 30th annual Wish Tree a success! A total of 1,455 gifts were delivered to deserving children in Georgia's foster care program thanks to your kindness and generosity. While 2020 was an especially challenging year, together we were able to grant the wishes of children who may have been forgotten during the holidays.
