You’re Not Alone
Did you know that in 2021, the IRS reported over 1.4 million cases of tax-related identity theft? This is a staggering increase. The pain of receiving a notice that someone used your Social Security Number (SSN) to file falsely can be overwhelming. You might feel scared, confused, and vulnerable.
Understanding the Threat
Tax identity theft happens when someone steals your personal information to file a fraudulent tax return. They do this because it’s easy money — your refund, to be exact.
Most people don’t realize that thieves often use a stolen SSN, which can be obtained from data breaches, phishing scams, or even public information.
This is where the risk escalates. If they successfully change your information, you may not even find out until you try to file your real return and get rejected. It can take months, if not years, to resolve the issues if it happens to you.
