Since tomorrow is the deadline to file your federal income tax return, we’re talking taxes on Radio Times. The IRS is warning Americans against several identity theft scams involving tax returns. Inquirer financial columnist ERIN ARVEDLUND explains how they work and how to prevent being a victim. Then, this is the first year same-sex married couples can file jointly. Certified public accountant ROSALIND SUTCH explains the new IRS rules after the Supreme Court over-turned the Defense of Marriage Act last year. Finally, where do our tax dollars really go? We’ll get the answer from CHUCK MARR of the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
