nikka u said you won't find out til you're in your 60'sI am telling you that it happens. I don’t know about how it’s handled on the IRS side, but the agency I work for has to deal with it occasionally. I’m not just making this up. I’ve noticed that when I come across a situation like this it’s usually someone working in construction.
That’s exactly what happens, the thief and you will have earnings from different places at the same time. But when you do a query you’ll see that one set of earnings for that SSN may belong to a J. Smith, while the other set may belong to A. Gonzalez.
You know damn well that's bullshyt
You don't work for no government agency
That's identity theft..cats on the run from police do that..not an illegal who'strying to keep his job for years
