You need to take steps to protecting yourself against tax identity theft.
Tips from the Federal Trade Commission to Fight Tax Identity Theft
The FTC has these tips to fight tax identity theft:
- File your tax return early in the tax season, if you can.
- Use a secure internet connection if you file electronically, or mail your tax return directly from the post office.
- Respond to all mail from the IRS as soon as possible.
- If tax identity theft happens to you, visit IdentityTheft.gov to report it to the FTC, file an Identity Theft Affidavit with the IRS electronically, and get a personal recovery plan.
