​AG Raoul issued guidance to help Illinois residents safely file tax returns and urged people to exercise caution before providing personally-identifying and financial information online.

“Unfortunately, bad actors stand ready to take advantage of consumers during tax season, and it is more important than ever to be cautious when sharing personal information. The best way to prevent fraud from taking place is to protect your personal information. I am encouraging people to access free resources to help them make informed choices as we approach the tax filing deadline.” – AG Raoul
