    Signs of IRS Identity Theft

    Received a Notice for a Return You Didn't File

    The IRS sends a notice asking you to confirm a return you never submitted. Someone else filed using your SSN.

    Your Refund Was Taken

    Your e-file was rejected because a return with your SSN was already submitted — and your refund was diverted to the thief's account.

    Unknown Activity on Your IRS Account

    Your IRS Online Account (IRS.gov) shows income, employers, or payments you don't recognize.

    Submit Form 14039

    Request an IP PIN

    An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is a 6-digit number that prevents anyone else from filing a return with your SSN. All future returns require this PIN.

    What Else You Should Do

    Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with all three credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion)
    File a report at IdentityTheft.gov (FTC) to create a recovery plan
    Report to your state tax agency if a fraudulent state return was also filed
    Continue to file your own tax return — paper file if e-file is rejected due to duplicate SSN
    Keep records of all IRS correspondence related to the identity theft case
    Follow up — the IRS currently reports that identity-theft cases take about 580 days on average to resolve
