Tax identity theft definition Form 2022-2023

Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.u00a0 There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.u00a0 The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.u00a0 The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.u00a0 For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.u00a0 In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.u00a0 In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.u00a0 If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not prmuch of a challenge.u00a0 We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.u00a0 Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?u00a0 Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.u00a0 If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive abilityu00a0 to figure out.u00a0 It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.u00a0 The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.u00a0 They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

Working with the IRS, you should probably expect about 6 months, but sometimes it takes a year or more if the case is very complicated.

An Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN) is a six digit code, which changes each year, you use to confirm your identity when submitting your tax return.This additional layer of authentication makes it harder for someone to use your Social Security Number (SSN) to submit a fraudulent. The IRS gives IP PINs to taxpayers who have experienced tax-related identity theft. The use of IP PIN is MANDATORY if you receive a CPO1A notice from the IRS.Getting an IP PIN is optional for the following groups of taxpayers:1) Those who receive an IRS letter inviting you to opt-in to get an IP PIN.2) Taxpayers who filed a return last year as a resident of Florida, Georgia, or the District of Columbia. This a pilot program to test the use of IP PINs.

If you did not break the law, then you should not worry about going to prison. ID theft is not lawful, and if you or the government or someone else is hurt in the ID theft crime, the perpetrator should be made responsible for the consequences.Even though you are a victim of the ID theft, you are still responsible for your lawful responsibility to pay the taxes that you lawfully owed.

You canu2019t.If someone is planning on using your identity for theft, there is nothing that you can do to prevent it.You can, however, mitigate it by taking several steps:File a police report - In the report, detail all of the items which were taken, no matter how insignificant that you think that they are.Contact all of your credit issuers and your bank and have your cards cancelled - The sooner that you do this, the better. Credit card companies legally can only hold you responsible for the first $50 in charges (almost all of them waive the charges) and your bank has to replace any fraudulent withdrawals made from your account as long as you report the theft within 60 days.Place a fraud alert on your credit reports - This will be a huge pain in the ass for as long as you have it on them, but it will prevent people from easily receiving credit using your identity.Contact the local library if you have a card and tell them that you have lost your card - Many people forget this and itu2019s a bad idea to do so because A) A crook can check numerous new and expensive books and videos on your account and sell them. B) The crook can have the library give them a copy of the form that you completed to obtain your card. That document has personal information on it which may not have been in your wallet.Check your driving record with your state licensing agency - The crook may attempt to pass himself off as you during traffic stops and that could lead to your being fined or arrested for outstanding traffic violations. Also, you might wish to check to see if any titles were issued to you for any vehicles that you may own or not own as crooks can use your ID to get a new title for your vehicle and either get a loan against it or steal it later and then sell it.Contact your medical insurer - A crook can use your medical insurance card to charge healthcare and dental work and to obtain prescription medicines (especially painkillers) to sell.Check your cell provider and see if additional phones or mobile devices have been issued in your name - A crook could obtain numerous new phones on your account and then sell them at a profit. Or use them until they are caught.Check your stateu2019s corporation bureau/Secretary of State - A crook (or whoever he sells your identity papers to) could start a business using your information. This could put you tens of thousands of dollars in debt (or more) and result in numerous agencies looking for you (actually, the crook pretending to be you) for a wide variety charges.Keep a copy of your police report with you at all times - While the police have grown used to ID fraud, some may still detain or arrest you if you are pulled over. Having a copy of the report will make things far less difficult if you are stopped or detained.Expect the unexpected - There many ways that your ID can be misused by a skilled ID thief. From buying aircraft and boats on your credit, to purchasing firearms, to obtaining Internet service in your name and then using it for fraud or for downloading child pornography, if your identity is indeed compromised, you should ready for whatever might happen.Good Luck.

There already has been an u201cAssault Rifle Banu201d. They were banned for 10 years. Multiple studies determined that the ban had no measurable effect on any crime or abuse. Simply put it was a waste of time and money. Because it was originally passed with a 10 year clause to evaluate the effectiveness before becoming permanent, it was allowed to expire.The real facts about the AR and AK platform is they are very rarely used in crime, as well as any other rifle or shotgun. Probably the primary reason is the inability to hide the things in a car or on your person. Therefore the armed criminal would much rather use an illegally obtained handgun so they can hide it from plain sight and still have quick access to use it illegally. Facts established by the FBI and CDC conclude that Knives are used to kill 5 times that of ALL rifleu2019s. More hands and feet are used to kill than all long guns combined. Note there are 2 separate listing for these items. Hammers and clubs kill more than any rifle. Handguns are used for killing far more than all other means combined. To put this in even better prospective here are more actual facts:FBI-UCR reports that in 2023 there were 10,982 firearm murders in the US. Expanded Homicide Data Table 87,032 by handgun403 by rifle (other study found approximately 21 AR-15u2019s were used, another 94)264 by shotgun3283 by other firearms, (unknown due to condition of the body or no projectile found etc. Most are attributed to handguns)1591 by Knives or cutting instruments467 by Blunt objects (clubs, hammers, etc.)696 by Personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.)Now understand there are over 12 million AR-15 rifles sold since 1964 to present, and climbing in the civilian hands now, an estimated 90 million rifles, and an estimated 80 million shotguns. The rest are handguns for a total of an estimated 393 million firearms. This number is climbing every year, but the firearm homicide rate is dropping every year. New firearm owners are also climbing every year, more than the death rate of the firearm owners, approximately 165 million firearm owners are in the US now, according to the FBI estimates.This means that out of our population in 2023 of an estimated 340 million, 11,000 criminals killed with a firearm. Let's assume they are part of the estimated 165 million firearm owners, that means that .0067% of firearm owners committed firearm murder in 2023 assuming one person one kill.(not true but is a worst case number it would be actually lower) and only .0028% of the owned firearms were used to murder.In conclusion this proves that any type of firearm ban would be insignificant on any number or crimes with a firearm and that another u201cAssault Weaponsu201d ban will be just as ineffective as the prior ban. It also proves that firearm ownership is not the reason for crime. as the national average of criminal is estimated at 2% of total population. The firearm criminal is vastly less.Due to the above facts, I do not support any ban on any firearm as it is useless and a waste of time and money. We should instead look to enforce existing laws vigorously and without care of the u201copticsu201d that it may or may not create and hand down the maximum sentences for violence with a firearm and remove parole as an option involving firearm crimes. If any new laws are to be considered I would support 100% a law that creates a federal crime to use a firearm in a criminal activity and if convicted in a State court for such crime, that when the State handed down sentence is fully served then that sentence is again served in sufederal prison, so do 10 in the state pen then 10 Fed Hard Time. I guarantee you that the gang bangers will stop carrying firearms if they know they are looking at Federal hard time with no parole, after the State time. Get 7 do 14 if you use a gun, Period. We would be amazed at the sharp and drastic reduction in gun crime.IMHO
