After you file

Are you referring to your tax return filed already through identity theft? 

 

If your Social Security number is compromised and you know or suspect you are a victim of tax-related identity theft, the IRS recommends these actions:

  • Respond immediately to any IRS notice: Call the number provided.
  • If your e-filed return is rejected because of a duplicate filing under your Social Security number, or if the IRS instructs you to do so, complete IRS Form 14039, Identity Theft Affidavit.  Use a fillable form at IRS.gov, print, then attach the form to your return and mail your return according to instructions.
  • Visit https://www.identitytheft.gov/ for steps you should take right away to protect yourself and your financial accounts.
