Fraud

A man reported that when he filed his taxes, the IRS told him his Social Security number had already been used to file a return.

TIP: What to do?  1. Document everything in your conversation with the IRS so you can refer to it later. Who did you talk to and what did they tell you as far as filing your taxes under these circumstances.  2. Have a police report made. 3. Report the fraud to the three major credit reporting companies: Experian, Trans Union and Equifax. In addition, place a freeze on the credit. This means if the number is used again for a loan or setting up an account, they will notify you first.
