| Reason for asking: had a letter from the IRS saying someone had filed a 1040SR in my name (looked like a real official IRS letter) giving a site to contact or a phone number. Of course trying the number just gets you told to call back later and the irs web site requires you to go thru an identity check and receive a PIN to get onto the site to check on the identity problem. Have not noticed any improper activity on any credit transactions or other accounts. But some of my info must have leaked out somehow. Wonder how the IRS handles those fake filings? Just go in the trash can? Or does some agent follow up on them? Must be an address attached to the name if trying to receive a refund or some other benefit from the filing. | |
