Time to write to our representatives in Congress. I hope the horse is not out of the barn! Doing ones own taxes is one thing but I don't think I could operate on myself.

>>Have you ever heard of identity theft? Do you think it could happen to you? It only happens to someone you do not know - right?

>>Well, it seems that a large number of CPA’s and tax firms outsource your income tax information to India. So what? Well, your identity could be used by someone very easily. Imagine someone knowing your name, address, income information, social security number, etc. What a great way to destroy the United States! Just steal the identity of a large number of citizens. That would be a great act of terrorism. Get the little guys. After all, who cares?
