The truth is that there are many products that are found and used throughout your home that deteriorate the quality of your air.

For example, many items, such as your furniture and the paint on your walls, can cause volatile organic compounds and other toxins to leak into the air, and this can, over time, result in a variety of health ailments.

And the cleaning products you use that contain chemicals, or the artificial fragrances you use throughout your home to eliminate odours, can also be detrimental.

How much do you know about IRAs? You probably only heard about it or you may be a regular IRA investor but, really don’t know much about the role it plays on retirement success. How often do you logon to your online IRA account? How often do you open the mailer containing your IRA account statement? Let’s admit there’s a need to learn more, especially if you’re not an IRA investor yet.

First let’s talk about the basic things first, what you most probably already know. Namely, that retirement investing can be confusing. You know that it takes just a few seconds of talking about market cycles, redistribution, indicators, and various other investment speak to have you running for the hammock.

No one enjoys handing over the year’s tax payment to the Internal Revenue Service on April 15. However, most people expect their tax dollars to be used by the U.S. government, not handed back to cybercriminals that file fraudulent tax returns. Every year, according to an estimate from the Treasury Inspector General’s office, the IRS loses $4 billion because of fraudulent tax returns. Cybercriminals stealing personal taxpayer information have become a major force behind tax fraud.

Research on cybercrime demonstrates that phishing scams and fraud are higher at tax time than at almost any other time of year. In fact, people are only targeted more often for scams during the holiday shopping season. Fortunately, by exercising just a little cyber savvy, taxpayers can keep their personal information from becoming entangled in a case of tax fraud.
