Hey guys! After I filed my taxes this year, I received a letter from the IRS last week saying I owe them $33,000 from under reported taxes files in 2017. The agent said I apparetly made $80k more that year and that a company reported my wages. I never worked for this company. Come to find out, I was part of the data breach from Equifax in 2017 and someone had stole my identity even opened and used credit cards in my name. I files everything correcty with the credit companies and the FTC and IRS last week. After waiting for my refund, I checked the status and it said my refund was applied to past taxes due. Im extremely upset and pissed. I called several times for hours trying to get this straight out with the IRS. They only told me the case can take up to 180 days and I will have to wait. The form I files with IRS was 14039 for identity theft. But now I have no refund! I dont know what else to do. I needed that money!

I feel ya. I was told I owed a large sum for a past due medical debt from 2017 (my entire refund was snatched away) After getting the run around for several days I was able to get in touch with the medical facility and they told me my balance was never that much; it was less than 20.00. So clearly somebody made a mistake. I’m waiting to hear back from them and hopefully they can send me my refund back!

I’m really sorry, friend. This is terrible and I hate that there are people out there that prey on others. Especially those of us that need the most help. It’s disgusting. Hang in there, it’ll go your way the truth always comes out.
