So the IRS has a form you can send in to put a fraud alert or some type with them so I guess they will give your tax return special attention to see if it is really you next time.
Also - I'm confused - I have an e-file PIN. You don't?
- jjnoakes 11y agoYou can e-file without an IRS-issued e-file PIN. I know of at least one tax filing software program that uses only your previous year's AGI to verify your identity to the IRS. So having an e-file PIN, or even using an e-file PIN to e-file, does not imply that your tax return can't be e-filed by someone else who only has your previous year's AGI.
- clogston 11y agoIRS requires you to authenticate yourself via one of two mechanisms if you efile (regardless of who you do your taxes with): 1) Prior year AGI 2) Electronic filing PIN They can also issue a taxpayer a special Identity Protection PIN. If you're issued one of these you MUST use it. There are two groups of people that don't need to "authenticate" at all: 1) Anyone who didn't file the previous tax year 2) Anyone filing by mail
