Your number of affected tax payers is low because the IRS deliberately low balled their estimate.
Take a close look at your 1040. If you are married your wife’s data is on there. If you have children, their data is also there.
IMHO the IRS just reported the number of people whose name and identy data appeared on the first line of the 1040 - not all of the dependents included on the form.
Tell me again why we should use the web to accomplish/help with our taxes.
I’m on the Gulf coast in Florida. My small business lost because of BP’s spill in 2009. I refuse to file a claim with BP, cause they not only want my personal SSN and tax return info, they want my wifes SSN and refuse to let me black out my children’s SSN.
I don’t let me SSN out anywhere, why should i trust BP
