As peak tax season approaches, be aware of any suspicious activity using your personal information.  The IRS has reported incidents of tax fraud from victims.  There are victims reporting that they are attempting to file their taxes and are being rejected as their social security number has already been used by someone to do so.  With on-line methods for banking, shopping, and also a means of bill payment being more popular, it is important to safeguard your personal information.  It’s a good idea to purchase a cross cutting shredder and shred all documents that you no longer need prior to discarding them.

If you are a victim of tax fraud, you will need to file a police report with your local law enforcement agency and then with the IRS providing them with your case number.  The IRS will investigate the fraudulent activity.  It is a good idea to check your credit history periodically through Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion to ensure that you are not an unsuspecting victim.

Dear Fellow Taxpayer,

AFFT has embarked on a profound mission to restore FAIR taxation to this country. The success of this mission will have lasting effects on our children and our children’s children.

As the year comes to a close, we reflect on the many accomplishments AFFT has seen in 2021, namely:

  • 27 Cosponsors and counting for H.R. 25, The FairTax Act
  • A growing movement at the state level to abolish state income tax
  • Leading the charge against the government’s extreme plans for IRS surveillance of your bank account.

We’ve fought hard and seen results in 2021. With your continued support, we will make even more progress in the New Year.

Thank you for your continued support and have a Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Steve Hayes

Chairman, Americans For Fair Taxation

Stay Alert-Be patient-Stay Alive: Adhere to New Traffic Signage and New Traffic Patterns on U.S. 27/441

As road construction continues along U.S. Hwy 27/441, the Lady Lake Police Department would like to remind all motorists to be aware of the changing traffic patterns.  There will be more pattern changes as the widening project continues so it important that all motorists pay attention when traveling through the construction zone.  A traffic pattern can be as simple as a shift in a lane that you are traveling on or a detour onto a new roadway like in recent months.

Most local motorists are already aware of the new traffic pattern on U.S. Hwy 27/441 near Fennell Blvd.  This pattern will prevent southbound motorists from accessing the bridge.  Southbound motorists will need to travel to the right of the bridge on a newly constructed roadway.  The southbound side of the bridge is in the process of being removed.
