When you stop to think about it, having someone else prepare you a tax record is a really huge exercise in trust. In one moment we provide the individual with enough information to completely ruin our futures. They have our complete name, birthday, social security number, and all of our financial information. This is more than enough information to take our identity and live high of the hog for several months.

The problem is that we cannot afford to get so obsessed about preserving our identity that we do not have someone help with our taxes. Not filing properly can lead to a whole different nightmare where you have to deal with the IRS. It is not necessarily a worse nightmare than identity theft, just a little different.
