Wasserman Schultz: We Must End Identity Theft

Congresswoman held seminar about protecting against ID theft and tax fraud

PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. – South Florida residents are starting to file this year’s tax returns. Before they do, they’ll want to learn more about the growing rate of tax return identity theft issues facing South Florida.

Our state alone has about one-fifth of the nation’s victims who couldn’t immediately file their taxes last year because a criminal beat them to it.

Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) held a town hall meeting with federal and local law enforcement agencies and other groups at the Pembroke Pines YMCA to discuss how to protect against ID theft and tax fraud.
