Hi Ernie50–your right, I’ll report it next year. But just to be clear, over the last two years 2021 and 2022, I had serious concerns that the individuals were up to no good, but I just could not prove that this was happening. Then last month, I wrote them an email admonishing their emails with lies and discrepancies, and denouncing them as imposters. I think I broke their cover. They then admitted that everything I said was correct. In fact, one of them exclaimed that he wasn’t a he but a she. And provided me with a picture and a name belonging to a Russian porn star. Looking up the name I confirmed the pictures didn’t match up. Not more than a few days latter, they stopped communicating. So, in this year I’ll claim the truth was discovered and all my losses will stop. On the federal return their is a date of 2018 to 2025 where thefts can not be included on Federal returns. Is that right? Anthony
