It’s that time of year – take whatever money you have left from last year and send it to the government!
But seriously – tax time is here again, and with more and more of us doing and filing our returns electronically, we all need to be even more cautious about how we protect that data, not only in the online world, but in how we store and protect it for our own personal reasons.
The IRS tells us to keep all our tax information for at least three years – returns can be audited going back that long. That means not only all the paper files that you have, but the electronic files that you have amassed as well. And how best to do that? Why, back it up, of course!
As with all your most precious information on your computer, your tax files are in need of serious and planned protection.
What’s the easiest way to do this? A Seagate FreeAgent product, with full file and folder back up applications included. With both portable and desktop versions available, you can make two backups –be extra protected, keep one with you as you travel, and one on your desk in your home or office. It is an incredibly easy and inexpensive way to stay protected, and not just for your tax files, but for all the information you keep on your computer – pictures, music, videos, and important documents.
Don’t let yourself be unprepared, left vulnerable to system problems, or viruses that can wipe out your information. Get protected. Backup your computer. You’ll feel a lot better once you do!
