ID Theft Question


TaxmannEA

Recommended Posts

We've had an issue in our area with ID theft involving 16 year old dependents.  Several of our clients' children have had rejects due to a prior return being filed using their SS#. None of these dependents had filed a return ever and they are all 16 years old. My theory is some kind of hack into the Secretary of State's database of new drivers, but that is just an educated guess. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just my paranoia?

And, a lot of high school kids listened to their friends and filed in the IRS portal for EIP3, which counts as a tax return. The kids get their free $1,400, but their parents' returns get rejected due to their dependent already filing a "return."
