Credit Freeze and Virginia eFile

[thost19]

Both my wife and I have credit freezes on all 3 credit bureaus due to our socials being found on the dark web. Can we still eFile our taxes in Virginia without lifting the credit freeze? Will the credit freeze delay or cause issues with filing our returns?

Yes, you  and your wife should be able to e-file your taxes in Virginia without lifting the credit freeze. A credit freeze generally won't impact your ability to e-File your taxes, whether you're using TurboTax or filing directly with the IRS and Virginia's Department of Taxation. The IRS, TurboTax and state tax agencies normally use your adjusted gross income (AGI) from the previous year and other tax-specific details for identity verification, not your credit report.
