The government’s push to computerize medical records has done wonders.
We had our taxes filed fraudulently this year. We are now working our way through that mess.
For all of my adult life, I have spent 6 months dreading tax season and then 6 months worrying if maybe I had done something wrong when filing them.
For the first time in my adult life (my husband and I have been married for 30 years), we actually hired a tax preparer, as we believed that a citizen should NOT have to pay someone else to do their taxes - filing/completing a tax form should not be that difficult for ANY citizen.
When our tax preparer submitted our taxes this year, they were REJECTED - because someone had already filed with OUR SSNs.
SAME for one of our sons!!!
We had to mail in the forms and check WITH COPIES of driver’s license AND social security card.
I was informed by one person that it will probably take at least 6 months to straighten out... (I hope those who committed this fraud actually HAVE TO PAY what we owe ‘cause it is a huge amount.)
You do not even want to know what my thoughts are...
And... the ONLY entity or website, to my knowledge, that possibly has access to ALL of this confidential information combined, other than the IRS, is PEEHIP and/or the so-called “Team-Up for Health” website.
I have been “coerced” into a relationship with which I do not agree - with this so-called “Active Health” management and my employer-sponsored health care provider.
I find it absolutely APPALLING that in order to complete a REQUIRED PEEHIP health questionnaire on-line, one must agree to/abide by the laws of New York, even though we are citizens of Alabama.
I have believed for close to 20 years that the 16th amendment was never properly ratified and that the IRS and all the shenanigans we citizens go through every year is ILLEGAL.
Good luck to you!
