Did anyone see the story this past week?
The main character, and older lady, talked about how miserable her life has been since she had her identity stolen and a false tax return filed in her name. She's in Ft. Lauderdale.
Then, they interviewed a Tampa detective, and showed streets in the seemy sections of Tampa. He sold the drug sellers stopped selling drugs because they can file 10 false tax returns a day and make $50,000, and watch cartoons while they're doing it.
Well, we had our credit cards compromised in Tampa, so that's hitting pretty close to home.
Does anyone know if this identity theft/fake tax returns started with and is tied to efiling?
Is the old-fashioned mail-in-a-hard-copy safer, do you think?
We have always done that because it has always been the story that you are less likely to be audited if your return goesin at the same time as the big bulk of them, not that there is anything we would be audited about.
