Identity Protection
Your tax identity is one of your most valuable financial assets. Every year, criminals use stolen Social Security numbers to file fraudulent tax returns, steal refunds, report false wages, and create costly IRS complications for unsuspecting taxpayers.
Unlike credit card fraud, tax identity theft often remains hidden until you file your return or receive an unexpected notice from the IRS. By then, recovering your identity can take months—or even years.
Tax Guardian was created specifically to help individuals and families monitor, detect, and respond to tax-related identity threats before they become financial disasters.
Whether you’re protecting yourself or your entire household, Tax Guardian provides year-round tax identity protection designed to give you confidence every tax season.
Most people believe identity theft begins with a stolen credit card or a fraudulent loan. Today’s criminals have expanded their targets.
Tax identity theft has become one of the fastest-growing forms of financial fraud because your Social Security number is the key to filing tax returns, collecting refunds, and reporting wages.
The unfortunate reality is that many victims don’t discover the fraud until months later.
That’s why protecting your tax identity has become just as important as protecting your credit.
These are valuable services. However, most were never designed to monitor activity occurring within the IRS.
