What to do in a case of identity theft relating to your tax return...

• There are many different ways your identity can be stolen...from stealing a wallet, looking through trash or accessing information YOU provide to an unsecured Internet site...
• The IRS does not initiate contact with a taxpayer by e-mail !
• If you receive a letter from the IRS that indicates multiple returns have been filed for the same year you may be at risk...Contact them immediately
• If you have lost or your identification was stolen you need to provide the IRS with proof of your identity.  Submit a copy of your valid government issued identification, social security card, driver's license, etc along with a copy of a police report and/or a completed Form 14039, IRS Identity Theft Affidavit.
• Do not routinely carry your card or other documents that display your SSN
