It is important you get in touch with the IRS. The thieves may try to file a fraudulent tax return in your name and claim a refund. I imagine this is easier to sort out if any fraudulent return is caught before the IRS pays such a refund to the thieves. You may be paper filing for a year or two (I'm not aware that you can e-file once a thief has already e-filed a return in your name -- if that happened). I recommend searching official IRS website resources (such as https://www.irs.gov/) for things like Identity Theft Affidavit (and other identify theft keywords). A possible "good" outcome is that the IRS will select you to receive an Identity Protection PIN so that thieves cannot e-file a fraudulent return in your name (then you can e-file).
Did you submit your information through one of the non-filer applications in order to get your stimulus payment? There are non-filer options either through TurboTax or the IRS.
If so, when using the non-filer system on the IRS website, your information is processed by the IRS as an original filed return.
Any subsequent filing submitted electronically will be rejected and must be mailed to the IRS for processing.
You can do this in a couple of different ways:
Don't forget that when you mail a paper return to the IRS, you must include copies of your W-2s and 1099s, plus you need to sign and date the return.
Thank you very much for the information I believe that should be helpful I'll give it a shot thanks again
If you get on the IRS IP PIN list, you can't get off.
If your SSN was used already, you must file on paper via US Mail.
Don't make it complicated.
pls stop this process
