      Hi guys. So long story short I went to file my taxes this year only to find out someone stole my social and kids and filed before me somehow. I filed a paper return and mailed it along with the identity theft forms. Has anyone been thru this or know what to expect ? It’s been so upsetting. I also called IRS to let them know of the fraudulent return.

          Yep sure did. In December I got email from them saying someone made another account using my existing info. Also they got into my actual account. I literally called within seconds of seeing this and asked them to both secure my account/delete any secondary accounts. They did nothing to protect my info. It was too late and obviously this person took all my socials from previous returns listed on the HRblock account and filed, which rejected my return.

            I went through this same thing. Did you happen to file with HR Block?
            IRS says it can take up to 480 days to get it resolved
