Thousands of unfortunate taxpayers who are the victims of identity theft are waiting up to two years to receive their federal income tax refunds, according to a new report from the National Taxpayer Advocate. |
Unfortunately, the situation appears to be getting worse, not better, at the IRS when it comes to clearing up ID theft cases and sending refunds to those who need them. |
