No, you read it right. One of professional acquaintances has dealt with identity fraud on a tax return where someone else filed the return first. If you have a stolen SSN, it stands to reason you have the name that goes with it. There are enough employers who don't do required identity verification checks who will issue W-2s to those names and socials and then the criminalien files a 1040 based on those W-2s. The person who's idendity was stolen is then in for a nasty surprise especially if they e-file.


Thank you for clarifying :)

I don't want to hijack, but I do have a side question of sorts. Is it still possible for certain undesirables (many of whom are not immigrants, of course) to "steal" the identities of deceased minors?

Have we made any steps to prevent that from happening?

I couldn't answer that.

I have no idea how to prevent it, and I don't know about deceased minors, but my daughter was born on August 1 of this year, and someone, somewhere, somehow has already gotten ahold of some sort of information on her, because I've received bills from a hospital not even in this state in her name.
