For many of you your employers have provided you with IRS Form 14039.  This form may be filed with the IRS now but that may delay the ability for you to eFile your return.  If we file your return and receive notice your return has already been filed we would need to file the Form 14039 at that time.

Per IRS guidance in the vast majority of tax-related identity theft cases the form 14039 does not need to be filed:
