In terms of "fixing" the hacked SSN problem, I don't know of an easy solution.
My wife and I went through this about five years ago. If I remember correctly, five years ago you could still communicate with someone "verbally". Do you remember what that was like. An audio form of communication used by people for generations, but not common today.
Anyway, we wound up completing some paperwork (?), filed paper returns (?) and have been receiving an "Identity Theft Protection Pin" (?) every year, enabling us to file electronically!
In the current situation, I filed the rejected returns paper by mail (pain) and will sit back waiting for the IRS/ State agencies to tell us what I already know - someone filed a return using my grandson's SSN. He is on both of the rejected returns, one as a dependent.
Haven't started looking at getting the $50.00 back for the two rejected state returns - If anyone can help with that, it will be appreciated.
