<prompt> Human: Sorry if this is not the correct place for this submission, but I dont know who else to ask other than the glorious PF sub. Throwaway just because.To start, this situation is in regards to my girlfriend lets call her Betty. Bettys mom works as a masseuse in a business that has a lot of undocumented workers and had a new hire lets call her Janet put Bettys name and information on Janets I-9 form. Bettys mother is asking Betty to add Janets income to her taxes this year. Now I am not a tax master, but I would make the assumption this is very illegal. So my question to you Personal Finance is what is Bettys options here? Should she file her taxes as normal and not include Janets income? Should she contact the IRS or the authorities? Again, I apologize if this is in the wrong sub or if this post is not accepted, but any help or suggestions would be appreciated!Thank you Personal Finance... youre my only hope!  <response>: This is identity theft.
