Frank Lautenberg: “Yes, because you said overwhelming, 80,000+, I mean.”

Identity theft is a serious and growing problem in the United States and a daunting challenge for the IRS.

The IRS must be funded at a level that enables it to provide necessary taxpayer assistance and to enforce the laws.

I am deeply concerned that recent cuts to the IRS budget are jeopardizing its ability to carry out this vital mission.

Do you consider IRS's current strategy for dealing with identity theft and refund fraud to be adequate? No.
