Identity Theft Stephen Leventhal

Explanation of Identity Fraud The fraudulent acquisition and use of a person's private identifying information usually for financial gain.

Current Scams Tax-Related ID Theft Is on the Rise National Tax Advocate Nina Olson said during congressional testimony in August 2013 that her office saw cases of stolen identity rise by 61 percent from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year They had risen again by 32 percent in the first three quarters of fiscal year The IRS is working hard to stop ID theft through a series of filters that help flag potentially fraudulent returns. The IRS can adjust the filters each year as more is learned about how the thieves operate. The IRS also has improved its assistance to victims. Those who substantiate their identity and address will be issued an Identity Protection PIN. This unique number must be used in conjunction with the victim’s Social Security Number. The IRS will delay processing of returns filed without this IP PIN to protect taxpayers from being victimized again. Nonetheless, about 1.6 million Americans were victims of ID theft/tax refund crimes through June 2013, up from 1.2 million taxpayers in all of 2012, according to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration in a report that described the phenomenon as an “epidemic.”
