Understanding what you are protecting makes it easier to choose the right plan. Explore common questions about tax identity theft, monitoring, family protection, and recovery support.
Tax identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information, usually your Social Security number, to commit tax-related fraud. This can include filing a fraudulent tax return, attempting to steal a refund, or reporting wages under your identity.
Credit monitoring focuses on information reported to credit bureaus. Tax identity protection focuses on tax-related activity associated with your IRS records.
The services address different risks and can work together as part of a broader identity protection strategy.
Tax Guardian provides IRS Identity Monitoring, Tax Refund Monitoring, Employment Identity Monitoring, and Wage & Income Monitoring.
These capabilities help identify suspicious tax-related activity, unexpected income reporting, and potential misuse of your Social Security number.
