Alabama is asking taxpayers to fill out questionnaires meant to help verify their identities, before tax refunds are paid out. The state is also asking employers to send W2 forms earlier, by the end of January, so that it can have the data available to help verify tax returns as they come in, said Julie Magee, commissioner of revenue for Alabama. All suspicious returns, such as those with employment information that doesn’t match their records, will be held until they can confirm a person’s identity.
