Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You have been the victim of identity theft.  You need to contact the company that issued you the 1099-B and let them know that.  You also will need to handle this with the IRS.  The IRS has received that 1099-B as well and they are expecting it to be included on your taxes.  If you file without it they will send you a letter asking about the extra income.  You should plan to mail in your tax return this year with a letter explaining the situation and letting them know what's going on.

 

The IRS has a lot of resources to help with identity theft.  Check them out here.

 

You should also consider requesting that the IRS issue you an identity protection PIN.
