Lessons from the Classroom of Life Donald F. Houser, CLU, ChFC, FLMI, Insurance Chair

‘Tis the Season to Be Jolly!

“Hackers” love this time of year because there’s a good chance they’ll be able to get their hands on that tax refund you were expecting.

In fact, tax refund fraud is the fastest growing form of identity theft.

All a thief needs is your name, date of birth and Social Security number to steal your identity. To steal your tax refund, crooks will also have to have your tax filing status, your adjusted gross income and the amount of your refund. If you or your preparer are not careful when you file, they can grab this info too.

It seems like almost every day there is news of another big company or state or federal agency which has had all the personal information of their clients and/or their employees stolen from their databases.

Do you remember the recent news about Yahoo, the big internet search engine and huge email provider which has had all of the addresses, passwords and other information of over two billion users stolen!

Fraud is a huge problem for taxpayers. Thieves possibly already have what they need to file a claim for your income tax refund.

Income Tax Fraud is a huge problem for the IRS. Last year, over 250,000 tax payers reported to the IRS that they were the victims of Identity theft. Moreover the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that over three quarters of a million returns in 2016 were the victims of identity theft, with more than $4 billion stolen.

Identity Theft is a huge problem for all Americans. Norton Symantec, the Anti-Virus and Security Suite provider, reported that for the year 2016, a total of 106.6 million consumers (38.5% of all Americans) were affected by cybercrime at a total financial cost of $20.3 billion.

What can you do to protect yourself?

Change your Passwords. If you haven’t changed the password for your email and other online accounts, or if you didn’t make

them very complex, please be warned that thieves today are using sophisticated programs accessing hundreds of common password combinations to quickly probe and acquire the personal information of those who haven’t taken necessary precautions.

File your returns as early in the tax filing season as you can. The longer you wait to file, the more likely you are to make a mistake and the more likely it becomes that the IRS will be too busy to notice that a claim for your tax refund is fraudulent.

The IRS does not telephone taxpayers. If you get such a call, it’s a scam. If you owe the IRS money, you’ll receive a bill in the mail. Before you pay it, verify that it is legit, by calling the IRS at (800) 829-1040.

The IRS does not text, tweet or e-mail you. They only use snail mail. If you feel that your identity has been compromised in a recent breech, phone the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at (800) 908-4490. You can also request an identity protection PIN, a six digit number given to eligible taxpayers to help prevent the misuse of your Social Security number on fraudulent income tax returns.

When filing your taxes electronically, use a secure network. Over 80% (128 million) of all income tax returns are e-filed. Do not use a publicly available Wi-Fi hotspot. If you file electronically using a secure network, you’ll get an immediate confirmation that your return was received, and you’ll probably get your refund quicker. Tax filing software also protects against mistakes. According to the IRS, approximately 20% of paper returns have an error compared with only 1% of electronic returns.

It’s a jungle out there. Don’t become a victim of identity theft this tax season – or anytime!

OUR SCIENCE GUY

Born amid the skyscrapers and the entertainment industry of Los Angeles, Leonard Thomas went to school in Hollywood, Calif. Asked if he knew any celebrities as a child, he responded, “I attended school with one of the Nelson boys”…… (You know their T.V. parents as Ozzie and Harriet Nelson). While attending High School and observing some great teachers, Leonard thought, “I could do that!” After attending one semester at Valley College, he transferred to UCLA. He also participated as a member of the UCLA CREW ROWING TEAM. One evening Leonard attended a dance at the London Club in L.A. and met his lovely wife, Beverly. On their first date they went to a museum and on the second date they went on a hike. Love blossomed and they were married in L.A. in 1958. Leonard graduated that same year with a BA in Psychology. He also was drafted by the Army and stationed at the Sacramento Signal Depot. In 1960 he was discharged from the Army and entered the Teacher Credential Program at Sac State. Upon completion he took a position teaching science at Rio Linda Jr. and Sr. High School. In 1966 Leonard received a National Science Foundation Grant to Michigan State University to earn his Master’s Degree in science. He

completed that program in one year and took a job teaching Biology and Physiology in San Diego. Leonard also worked in the private business sector as a School Energy Consultant returning to teaching after four years. The year 2001 was a special year for the Thomas family. Beverly graduated from San Diego State with a degree in history

after 35 years as a Registered Nurse; two of their four children received their Master’s Degrees; and their first grandchild was born in September. After retirement, as a member of CalRTA, Leonard was Division 75’s Legislative Chair. He traveled twice to Washington D.C. to advocate for Social Security Fairness for teachers. Even though he no longer holds that office, Leonard continues to keep our membership informed (by E-Mail) about critical legislation and issues affecting retired teachers. He and Beverly love to travel (especially in Europe) attend musical concerts, the theater and the opera. Leonard loves the camaraderie with other teachers in CalRTA. This is involved, generous and supportive Leonard Thomas, your Spotlight Member for the month of April. Written by: Kathy Houser, Communications Chair

What Did You Say? 4

5

An estimated 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing impairment. Experts say it is most often age related, beginning in one’s 50’s. However, loud music, noisy machinery, gun fire, and even medications can cause hearing impairment in the young as well as those who are older. Troublesome medications that can affect hearing include certain antibiotics, diuretics, salicylates, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NASIDs), narcotics and chemotherapy drugs. Check with your doctor to see if any medications that you take might have an adverse effect on your hearing. In addition, smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes have also been linked to a higher risk of hearing loss. Apparently, any and all of the above conditions can cause the hair cells in your inner ear that pick up sound waves to become damaged or die, and since the cells do not regenerate, this type of hearing loss cannot be reversed. Common signs of hearing loss include having trouble hearing conversations in restaurants, in group situations, during lectures, while watching television or movies, when talking on the phone, or when talking with children. If you have hearing loss, it can be an annoyance for your family and friends, but the most serious consequence is the social isolation that it causes. Those with hearing loss tend to withdraw from social events, or avoid situations where crowds are present, or even shy away from conversations altogether. Besides the problems caused by this disengagement, those with hearing loss are more likely to fall or to have experienced a fall.

Those with a hearing impairment can also experience anxiety or depression and some medical professions think that there might be a correlation between hearing loss and dementia and Alzheimer’s. Being able to hear well is a key component to healthy cognitive functioning. Given all of the problems associated with not being able to hear, one would think that being fitted for hearing aids would be the obvious answer. But in a recent study of older adults who have been diagnosed with hearing loss, only 59% actually had gotten some kind of hearing aids or other kinds of personal sound amplification (PSA) products. The relatively high costs (averaging about $4,700 a pair) and vanity seem to be the primary reasons for not trying to hear well. Audiologists state that most patients tend to wait about 7 years after diagnosis before purchasing hearing aids. I need to make a confession here. I waited twice that long before finally getting my first pair of hearing aids this past February. And the question I keep asking myself is, “why did I wait so long?” Modern hearing aids are smaller and are marvels of digitalization, better at amplifying sounds specifically in the frequencies where the wearer most needs them. I can even adjust the amplification levels through my “smart phone”, take phone calls through my hearing aids, and even stream music. And they are now so small and discreet that unless I tell people that I am wearing them, they never notice. So take it from this self-confessed hearing aid procrastinator, do your loved ones and yourself a favor, and get your hearing tested, and if there is an impairment, get fitted for hearing aids. It will be money well spent.
