Here's a thing:

A few weeks ago, I used TurboTax for my federal/state taxes.  Have been using TurboTax the past 8 years.

When all was done, I had TurboTax "e-file" my returns.   I didn't give it another thought for 24 hours.  That's when I discovered e-mails telling me my returns had been 'rejected'.  The cause given:  Someone had already e-filed taxes under my name and SSN.

A few days later, I discovered a letter from the IRS that I had overlooked and put down.  It informed me of this filing which IRS thought looked suspicious since it didn't resemble past years' e-filings.  I called them, verified my identity by citing facts from my previous filing.

They advised me to print out my e-filed returns, sign them, attach payments, W-2s and 1009s to them and mail them in.  They rejected the earlier fake submission, but I would not be able to e-file for the past year's taxes.  This is, apparently, a huge problem in the IRS this year.   It may have evolved from the Google breach of security last year in which tons of personal data was stolen electronically.

I immediately subscribed to LifeLock which, I'm happy to say, showed no further attempts to forge my identity.  I've changed ALL my passwords, as well.

It's always SOMETHING, isn't it!

I've had LifeLock for several years.

I have to think seriously about when my own Ohio trip will be.  It's normally second or third week in May, but this is one crazy time and I might have to delay it a bit.

Back from a long but fun lunch with the writer of the musical - he's a very nice guy and we get along great.

Picked up one package, came home, and found we lost the person I cast yesterday.  I honestly think she just didn't think about having to learn three songs she didn't know - but, really, three weeks to do it - you can learn a whole damn show in three weeks.  I will honestly never understand people and I won't be asking her again.

George, do want to play any role in particular?

Well, there really are only four adult male roles in the show:  Edna Turnblad (who is pre-cast), Wilbur Turnblad, Mr. Pinky (and others), and Corny Collins.  I'm not right for Corny, at all, so either Wilbur or the Mr. Pinky track would be it. 

Casting vibes.

DR Ron thank goodness the IRS was also looking out for you and corrected the problem.

They told me this was a program they were forced to put together over the past two years and this year was the first full implementation.

It is such a shame they had to do this.

Ron, how frightening! But it's better to know sooner than later. I never would have thought that finding out that someone's trying to steal your identity would show up this way.

Vibes it didn't go any further and you have no more problems because of it.

My last dream was something about a mine that was being dug, a killer of women working on a beauty shop, cherry pie, a cello, and Angela Lansbury.

Tax-o-matic 1040 says it means you'll strike gold working on a musical version of Murder She Wrote, or alternatively an Agatha Christie or Miss Marple work of some sort.   The weapon in the plot will be a cherry pie.  Tax-o-matic doesn't know what the cello means.

Identity theft isn't new. Given how much of it there is--and how horribly it can mess up your life--I really feel that some sort of cross-check measures should have been put into place many years ago. It protects the IRS as well.
