SUMMARY: As the holiday season approaches, Mississippians are warned to be vigilant against scams targeting personal information. The IRS, alongside its Security Summit partners, promotes the ninth annual National Tax Security Awareness Week, advising taxpayers to exercise caution during holiday shopping and the upcoming tax season.
