@danielpunkass or, we should keep filing by mail until they get their act together.
So it’s worth repeating that you or any US taxpayer you know should register your own IRS account before crooks do: http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Get-Transcript …

@Jon_Alper You filing by mail will not supersede a criminal having already filed online in your stead. - View other replies

@danielpunkass When you can’t trust an entity to manage your information and they want $ from you, it’s their job to prevent the fraud. - View other replies

@Jon_Alper That’s fine, but I’m not going to overlook an obvious hole in their system that it’s in my power to plug. -
@danielpunkass Totally cool. For me. If it comes to court, I want “nope, never made account, their problem.” (on the advice of attorney) -
@Jon_Alper Interesting attitude but I see this as such an epidemic I would rather avoid the hassle altogether. -
@danielpunkass Oh, I’d WAY rather no hassle but if there is hassle, I intend make sure I’m compensated for their negligence. -
@Jon_Alper Ah cool, I guess I never considered you can take them to court and possibly win damages. - View other replies

Locking Equifax credit report prevents registration at http://irs.gov (I discovered)
@danielpunkass@nuclearzenfire#IRS -
@ClarkVenable@nuclearzenfire Yeah, they mention that in the troubleshooting if you read through it. -
@danielpunkass@nuclearzenfire I wonder if locking credit is sufficient to block *this* version of IRS tax fraud? -
@ClarkVenable@nuclearzenfire They say on their site that is, because you have to unlock credit to register for the site.

@danielpunkass I was able to make an account and see my past years' tax information, I'm a little surprised it worked! -
@ethicalpaul I find it very reassuring to have access to all this information. I have wondered for years why we didn’t have that.

@danielpunkass One unexpected consequence of signing up for an IRS account: "Note: All future correspondence will be via email." Yikes. -
@irons Interesting, but I'm not sure I mind this. Seems more reliable especially for folks who move a lot.

@danielpunkass so of course I'm now freaking out yet this irs site is terrible as far as who to call to fix this… -
@itsolivia Ugh! IRS site definitely sucks. There is a 1800 number for IRS recommended in article here: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2015/01/tax-id-theft-tops-ftc-complaints-2014-irs-imposter-complaints …
