AskGAOLive: Tax Filing and Tax Fraud
With the tax filing season in full swing, IRS is processing tax returns and providing a range of related services for tens of millions of taxpayers.
At the same time, fraudsters are busy filing fraudulent returns using legitimate taxpayers’ identifying information to wrongly claim others’ refunds.
On Thursday, February 19th, at 11am ET, join us for a chat with Jim White, a director in GAO’s Strategic Issues team, about how IRS handles your taxes, and what the agency is doing to protect you from tax fraud.
You can send us your questions in advance via e-mail or on Twitter using #AskGAOLive, and then tune in to the web chat for answers.

GAO's mission is to provide Congress with fact-based, nonpartisan information that can help improve federal government performance and ensure accountability for the benefit of the American people. GAO launched its WatchBlog in January, 2014, as part of its continuing effort to reach its audiences—Congress and the American people—where they are currently looking for information.
The blog format allows GAO to provide a little more context about its work than it can offer on its other social media platforms. Posts will tie GAO work to current events and the news; show how GAO’s work is affecting agencies or legislation; highlight reports, testimonies, and issue areas where GAO does work; and provide information about GAO itself, among other things.
Please send any feedback on GAO's WatchBlog to blog@gao.gov.
