:thumbup: way to go - protecting my privacy.

We knew something was wrong when we got a bill from Turbo Tax, before we filed.

Still waiting for that tax return!

QuoteThe IRS plans to notify the taxpayers potentially affected as soon as possible and provide them with support, such as free credit protection.


We the taxpayers will be footing the bill for the free credit protection.  Not the IRS.   :cursing: :cursing: :cursing:

Nobody's offered me credit protection - support...?   really...?.   That would be nice of them, and they could pay for it out of IRS employee bonuses, starting with Ms. Learner's!

I'm still waiting for my FED Tax refund!

Makes you wonder just how secure your medical records are with all of the data on some server.

No medical records are secure now.  If I can go in and look at my medical records on line so can others.

If that happened, I'd contact the IRS immediately. It could mean someone's using your tax info. Happened to me and it's not fun, trust me.
One of every five Americans you meet has a mental illness of some sort. Many, many, of our veteran's suffer from mental illness like PTSD now also. Help if ya can. :) http://www.projectsemicolon.org/share-your-story.html

We spent another 1.5hrs on hold yesterday...  might have our taxes done by Christmas.
Yes, someone stole our identity.   IRS is as Obama would say, "slow jammin'....."

After waiting on hold 1.5hrs...  the IRS agent said we should have a resolution in 180 days (From July).
We've called numerous times, busy signal.   At least the guy sounded like English was his first language!

Back in spring, we ordered fertilizer and seed for the pastures, counting on a timely tax return to pay the bill.
I just paid off the farm supply store yesterday...  our credit with them is ruined.

Yeah, it this happened under BUSH, can you IMAGINE the media fallout!!!

This is just crazy.  How the Feds don't take security seriously is beyond me.
