SeniorWatch

Senior citizens are particularly susceptible to Tax-Related Identity Theft for the following reasons;

Certain senior citizens tend not to be required to file a tax return; therefore, tax identity may not be detected for years.
Again because many seniors are not required to file, they are not likely to check their tax account.
Seniors are hesitant to report tax-related identity theft because they are concerned a relative may have something to do with it.
A senior may fear that they will make their families feel they can no longer be trusted to live independently.
