Wasserman Schultz: We Must End Identity Theft
02/20/13PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. - Imagine going to file your tax return, only to discover someone else has already filed it and received your tax refund check.
You can learn more about the growing tax return identity theft issues facing South Florida before you file your taxes. Our state alone has about one-fifth of the nation's victims who couldn't immediately file their taxes last year because a criminal beat them to it.
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) will hold two town hall meetings with federal and local law enforcement agencies and other groups to discuss how you can protect yourself from ID theft and tax fraud. On Thursday, Rep. Wasserman Schultz will be joined by special guest Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), who also has legislation to protect constituents against ID theft and tax fraud.
