It's important in the sense that people, when they're interacting with the IRS, you have a tremendous amount of power, and it can be very intimidating.

Just so we're clear, when we're talking about filters, or we're talking about how do we stop up-front...

And finally, I hope that any time the IRS knows that someone's information is being misused, that they will notify them and that will be something that is adopted for all taxpayers.

So it would be victims or potential victims.

It's very important to hear the perspective of what are the difficulties that taxpayers are facing.

I think it can also help you understand what you need to do to protect yourself, too.

I heard, Commissioner, that you want to get to an issue where the taxpayer is not getting the run-around and having to deal with multiple people if they're a victim of identity theft, and this seems to me a critical issue that we've got to…

So it's not one year but they have that protection if they want to have it going forward.

we're all appalled at what's happened to the Weeks family, and we want to make sure we get those who have committed this horrific crime and hold them accountable.

Thank you. Thank you so much. I know all of our thoughts and prayers are with you for your courage.

Oh, it puts people at risk. So I would hope that----

Thank you for being willing to be at this hearing today to help other parents so that they don't have to go through this.
