Taxes - comments before I do the last step?

[Leaky33]

Done with all my federal and state tax entries on Turbo Tax. Ready to e-file fed. and mail State. What are my chances to avoid security theft and is there anything I can do before e- filling, my last step. Just a shot in the dark with you full of wisdom guys.

P.S. Was a victim of security theft a few years back. [mad]

I was worried about the same thing this year but went to the Roy senior center and had them take a look. The filed my taxes return for free and found a big mistake I had made, saving me a lot of $$. I was worried about filing with Turbo tax because of the hackers getting in with that system and stealing folks info. They told me the system they used was just like the one that IRS uses.

I had a fake IRS return submitted under my SS# last year. I owed money and have out a stop to any further problems with my stolen ID so not a big hassle for me. However if your information was used for a fraudulent return previously you should have a pin # issued by the IRS to go along with your returns now.
My CPA is also an attorney who used to work with the IRS. He still meets with them regularly. From what he told me some fraudulent IRS returns are names with random SS#. The IRS doesn't even bother to match them all up in their rush to get returns out. Got to love it when the Guvmnent sends our tax dollars out with all the precaution the rest of us would use when handling Monopoly money.
