ADVERTISEMENTS

Ready for tax season? If you haven?t heard about tax identity theft, you may not be.

Tax identity theft happens when someone files a phony tax return using your personal information ? like your Social Security number ? to get a tax refund from the IRS. It also can happen when someone uses your Social Security number to get a job or claims your child as a dependent on a tax return. Tax identity theft is the most common form of identity theft reported to the Federal Trade Commission. The IRS says tax identity theft is a top priority and says it has hired new staff, explored new technologies, and adopted new procedures to fight it.
