Someone tried stealing her identity. Had nothing to do with what I filed. All has been resolved.

My niece watches my two kids some days to help us out while we work. I claimed this amount (roughly $2,500) when I filed my return. This was her only income and well below the $12,550 minimum so she didn’t file a return. Today she received a 5071c letter asking her to verify her ID because the IRS suspected someone used her info to file a fraudulent return. Could this be a result of me listing her on my return or something else? It says failure to verify could result in a delay of her receiving her refund (which she won’t have) and I’ve already received my return. Just trying to see if this is because of me or if someone got ahold of her info.
Bro you 1099 your niece?
You win Uncle of the Year

I’ll pay her tax and penalty and still come out to the good.
Don't forget to send her a 1099 for the taxes and penalties you pay for her.

IRS hired all those new auditors. Got to pay for them somehow. Got to love the wasted taxpayer money spent on stupid stuff invented to give people government jobs.

I don’t know if everybody was piling on as a joke or if everybody is just idiots (probably a mix of both) but this thread was pretty damn entertaining.
The letter that started all this is a standard letter that everybody has been getting lately. Just have to get on the phone with them and confirm who you are. They are not coming to put your niece in jail.

Isn't this the salient point that everyone sort of blew by? It's pretty common for illegals and criminals to file fraudulent returns with someone else's SSNs in order to get sent the refundable tax credits.
Tell her parents to run a credit report on her, and lock her credit. Also, have them call her health insurance company and warn them. It's also a thing to file for medical treatments using someone else's info.
