Wisconsin tax officials are taking steps to protect your identity and your refund this tax season. Department of Revenue spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis says the department’s identity verification program to help guard against fraud is being used for the second year in a row. Marquis says tax returns are selected for review based soley on analytics where various factors indicate the possibility of identity fraud. When this happens the department will require the taxpayer to take a short identification quiz or provide documents proving their identity before processing the refund. Taxpayers selected to take an identity quiz will receive an identity verification letter asking them to complete the quiz within 20 days. If they fail the quiz twice, the taxpayer must mail documentation to the department proving their identity.
