Overview[]

This report was developed by the IRS to consolidate and track existing information about identity theft incidents from multiple sources within the IRS. While the information in the report is not new, the report provides consistency in identity theft-related information drawn from several data sources.

The report is used to provide information to IRS senior management and the Identity Theft Advisory Council on identity theft metrics and to provide a standard source of information for responding to data requests from external entities, according to Office of Privacy, Government Liaison and Disclosure (PGLD) officials.
