Today marks the beginning of Identity Theft Awareness Week. It's also the first day that taxpayers can submit their 2025 tax returns to the IRS (many of which may result in refunds).
Tax refunds are an attractive target for fraudsters—who steal people's identities to file fake tax returns to claim large ones.
As the IRS watchdog, we're doing our part to help ensure it doesn't happen.
- We review programs to ensure that the IRS detects and prevents identify theft—and helps victims when it does.
- We partner with other law enforcement agencies to unravel complex identity theft schemes and hold the perpetrators accountable.
This week, we’re joining the Federal Trade Commission and others to raise awareness of identity theft and what you can do to protect yours. Follow us on LinkedIn and X throughout this week as we profile some of our most impactful identity theft-related work and share helpful resources.
