Turbo Tax Turns Off State E-Filing Due to Fraud (1 Viewer)

Anyone mention fair tax as alternative to this cluster?

 

[Brony]

I heard that the villain in the next James Bond movie is pretty good with Turbo Tax.

 

[Dexter]

Anyone mention fair tax as alternative to this cluster?

No because the fair tax isn't fair.

No because the fair tax isn't fair.

Who said anything about it being fair? I thought we were talking about identity theft and how the fair tax wouldn't have that problem?

I don't know about other states, but Ohio has added an additional security measure for state returns. After submitting your state return, you will be mailed a letter with a URL. You go to that URL, take a quiz which has questions only you should be able to answer, THEN your refund is sent to you.

I've seen people #####ing about it on Facebook because it's delaying the returns by a couple weeks. Idiots don't realize it's to protect them.

This year, for the first time, GA had you enter #### from your drivers license -- expiration date and DL #. I'm guessing that's a less-often compromised piece of IDing info and they're hoping to cut down on fraud with it.

Michigan had the same

IIRC, last year I was still able to e-file but it was much later in the season.

I'm in no rush this year as I'm expecting quite a bit to come out of my pocket. ):

Yes, the IRS themselves told me to file ASAP from now on for this very reason.

 

[The General]

Filed and just got paid yesterday. Some dude in a basement somewhere probably has all my info now.

 

[eoMMan]

Yeah, if you can file asap, do so.

The problem is though is sometimes it's just not possible to file soon. Some amended 1099s, schedule k-1s, etc. that you might need might not arrive until March or even later.

I agree that the IRS needs another identifier to file.

Received my refund yesterday, guess that means someone has my bank acct info now.

I got some tax forms that arrived the last week of March last year. FirstWorld Problems and all.

Odds the source of malware was Fat Nancy in Records opening an attachment titled "Chippendales_videMG.exe"?
