Mullet Man 2,114 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yup turbo tax is having an issue this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsner86 18 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah I'm assuming someone filed for me... Getting thru to turbo tax is a pain.. The guy is getting 4k back somehow? I wish I could get that much back. I left work to handle this so ill report back with what I find out if anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HB of CJ 1,263 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yep ... DO NOT OPEN! I today also got an E-mail from "Pay Pal" saying my accout is under funded or something. Only problem is that I do not have a Pay Pal account. Needless to say I did not open that link. Even dummies like me learn after a fashion. HB of CJ (old coot) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsner86 18 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just got off the phone with turbo tax. Someone used our s/n to file and get money and they told me to call its and try to get the payment stopped... I can't talk to anyone cause of "unexpected high volume of calls" and to call another day. Sounds like a logical thing to do... I guess the irs just likes to hand out thousands of dollars....

montec 164 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is why I use the cheap Taxact software. I pay for it just because I dont know. but they offer free online filing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsner86 18 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Yeah lesson learned... Shoulda downloaded the program instead of using it online. When they got hacked everyone who used the online versions info got compromised cause it was on their servers not mine. The IRS tells u to call one of the three credit bureaus and put a fraud alert on your s/n number. I called and did that. It was automated... I did not feel comfortable with that. Anyway I completed that. Then the robot tells you to hold on to speak to a representative. So I'm thinking I get to talk to someone about what's going on. One second later some guy with a Indian accent gets on trying to sell me some "upgrade" for 20$ a month. Anyway got mor phone calling to do today Yeah lesson learned...

sobrenegade 795 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 That shit sucks. Got my ID stolen/used twice and enjoyed the Home Depot hack, which didn't hurt as much as the others. Don't you just want to meet up with the MFs that did this, just once? I feel for you brother. I still believe in Karma since she's bit me back more than once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwulf 179 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Ssoooo...if someone does that to me and the IRS considers me filed... since I always have to pay in, you know...to support the leeches... do I still have to file? If someone did on my behalf, I'd rather not and avoid paying in. almost sounds like a win-win. As long as they don't use my ssn for anything else... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carsner86 18 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 The irs is stopping payment but I have to fill out a couple other forms when I send in my taxes this year and could be 6 months till I see a return. That is if I don't pay in. I wonder if I can wait 6 months to pay in..... Yeah right 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ronin38 2,117 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yep ... DO NOT OPEN! I today also got an E-mail from "Pay Pal" saying my accout is under funded or something. Only problem is that I do not have a Pay Pal account. Needless to say I did not open that link. Even dummies like me learn after a fashion. HB of CJ (old coot) I got this same email today, too. I found long ago that you can rest the mouse on the link (Don't Click It!), and the address will show in the link at the bottom. (On Firefox.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most are in my "Junk" inbox, but sometimes I get a chuckle out of the addresses. Yesterday, I won a 20 ft shipping container and contents from Maersk shipping. With all the inheritance, lottery and grants I must be close to billionaire status. The tax man cometh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedRhino 75 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Me and my fiance had to call turbo tax this year to get new cards expedited because we never got the ones they said they sent. Had to wait additional weeks before we got our returns. Won't be using them again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I always use a CPA, but I've had no less than 5 friends this year who's returns got jacked. They were required to file a police report and one was told by the St Charles Sheriffs Dept that in our area alone over 3000 reports have been made. That seems huge to me and really not much more than a peep in the news. I can't help but think that at some point this won't turn into a " never let a crisis go to waste" event. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Turbo Tax screwed up my return this year. I got a letter from the IRS showing me the error and a bill for MORE money, plus penalties. Assholes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
