So, what is the best way to find out if you are the victim?

Call IRS? (Assuming you haven't filed it yet) Check TurboTax? (Essentially filing yours and wait for it to be rejected?)

Maybe TurboTax should have a tool that checks against their system(based on SSN and some credit history questions, etc) to see if you(the fraudster in this case) has filed your taxes or not.

Unfortunately there isn't an existing easy way to find out if your SSN has been used to file a tax return. When you file your taxes via efile[0], the IRS system will reject the tax return if a tax return with the same SSN has already been filed for that processing year.

If this happens to you you're forced to file by mail.

[0] Doesn't matter who you use to do your taxes. Even an accountant that has access to e-file.

In Canada, you can't get the e-file code if you've moved in the tax year so you have to mail in your tax return.
