9 Reasons You Should File Your Taxes NOW!

If you’ve been a victim of fraud, the IRS will send you mail to your house. They will not call, text or email you about it, so if someone is trying to contact you claiming to be the IRS via one of those methods, you should know they’re just scammers.

The letter will provide you with a number, so call them back immediately!

Furthermore, if you try to e-file your return, you might not be able to due to fraudulent activity. In that case, you need to complete a Identity Theft Affidavit, the IRS Form 14039.

Of course, you can also be more proactive about fraud by getting an Identity Protection PIN, also known as an IP PIN. This adds another layer of protection when you file your taxes by offering you a six-digit personal identification number. Getting one is easy, you have to head on over to the IRS website and use the “Get An Identity Protection PIN” tool.
