    Most important) Follow the IRS procedures for reporting a fraudulent return, documented here: www.irs.gov/uac/Taxpayer-Guide-to-Identity-Theft

     

    IRS INFORMATION REFERRAL TO REPORT VIOLATION OF TAX LAW

    If your Social Security number is compromised and you know or suspect you are a victim of tax-related identity theft, take these additional steps:

    • Respond immediately to any IRS notice; call the number provided.
    • Complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit. Then print and mail or fax according to the instructions. 
    • Continue to pay your taxes and file your tax return, even if you must do so by paper.

     

     

     

    6-digit IP NUMBER FROM IRS

    If you e-file your return and it is rejected because someone else has already filed a return using your Social Security number, file your tax return by mail.  The IRS will sort out the duplicate use of your SSN.
