<prompt> Human: My understanding that it is very easy to steal tax returns if you have the SSN of the victim, and credit freezes obviously do not work on tax returns. It also appears as though no new measures have been added for identify verification since the equifax leak, so as best as I can tell 2018 is likely to be a whole new era of tax return fraud.Is there anything we can do?  <response>: File a complete and correct return as early as possible in the new year. If you e-file, you should expect to receive confirmation the return was accepted or rejected from the software provider within 48 hours.IRS has not yet announced when electronic filed returns will be accepted in 2018.
