Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That sounds like they were using Smartlook.  

 

But for peace of mind there are a lot of tools that you can use to prevent identity theft and monitor activity that involves your social security number.  

 

Here is the IRS guide on identity theft for individuals.  The IRS has tools to prevent people from using your social security number for anything that you didn't authorize.

 

You can also monitor your credit.  Your bank will be able to help with that.  You can set up a remote monitor that notifies you anytime something happens and you will be able to put a stop to it quickly if it is something that you didn't authorize.
