More than 80% of Americans file their income tax returns after April 1. However, if you do not file early, you leave the potential for an identity thief to file a fraudulent tax return in your name, claiming a big refund. If your name or Social Security Number has been used to file a fraudulent return, you may need to send Form 14039 to the IRS. You may also want to file a claim with identity theft.gov.
