Wife and I went to file together as we have always done, my return was rejected due to someone filling them already.
People are stealing peoples mail and completely taking on other people’s identity for months sometimes years before the victim even notices and they’re stealing it from locked boxes.
When you try to file your taxes, the IRS tells you they have already been filed.
You can lock your ss# at uscis.dhs as well as locking your credit and putting on fraud alerts and consumer statements. Also file report with FTC and ic3.gov.

This is the official link. You will have to supply the IP pin to file your taxes from now. Highly recommended. If anyone tries to file your taxes, without the IP pin, the IRS will reject their tax filing.
