I never received any of my stimulus someone filled mine out without me knowing what can I do?

Someone my friend knew filled my taxes out for stimulus and he set up an account and got the money sent to him instead of me

If someone your friend knew got your Social Security number, you are a victim of Identity Theft.

You should report it to the IRS.

The form is 14039

If they got the check and found a way to cash it then this is a legal matter ... seek local assistance.
