Victim of Tax Fraud or Concerned You Could Be? What Should You Do?

If you've believe you're a victim of tax fraud, there are steps you can take to report this and implement additional protections.

Report to the IRS

• The IRS has steps you should follow which may include completing an Identity Theft Affidavit, requesting copies of Fraudulent Tax Returns, or how you can inquire if a dependent was fraudulently claimed on someone else's tax return. These steps can be found here.

Obtain an IP PIN from the IRS

• The IRS can assign a six (6) digit PIN that is known only to you and the IRS to prevent someone else from filing a tax return using your SSN or Tax Payer Identification Number. These steps can be found here.
