Cybersecurity Tax-Related Identity Theft
Tax-related identity theft occurs when someone uses your stolen personal information, including your Social Security number, to file a tax return claiming a fraudulent refund. You may be unaware this has happened until you file your return and discover a return has already been filed using your Social Security number. Alternatively, the IRS may send you a letter saying they have identified a suspicious return related to your Social Security number.
The IRS, state governments, and the tax industry have joined together to create safeguards to fight tax-related identity theft.
