Victims of Identity Theft

If you've been asked by our office to provide a Tax Return Transcript or to import tax info into the FAFSA, but are unable to do so because of a recent tax-related identity theft, please submit the following to our office:

  • A Tax Return DataBase (TRDB) view transcript
  • A signed statement indicating that you were a victim of tax-related identity theft and that the IRS has been made aware of it.

Tax filers may inform the IRS of the tax-related identity theft and obtain a TRDBV transcript by calling the IRS’s Identity Protection Specialized Unit (IPSU) at 1–800–908–4490. Tax filers who cannot obtain a TRDBV transcript may instead submit another official IRS transcript or equivalent document provided by the IRS if it includes all of the income and tax information required to be verified.
