Clark is getting calls about a new kind of tax ID theft, plus a WTMJ listener recently told him her own disturbing story. The latest scam involves someone using your Social Security number to provide false tax info and apply for a refund as if they're you. Then when you go to file your taxes, you're told that you can't file twice. The ways people get our Social Security numbers are myriad, and there's not enough attention paid to this area. Another scam listeners are telling us about involves getting a notice from the IRS saying you owe money because you did not report all income for a prior tax year. What actually happens is that someone working illegally files a W-4 in your name and that income gets reported by the employer.

Clark has a somewhat radical suggestion that's a twofer: It deals with tax ID fraud and would eliminate the hiring of illegals. Clark recently joined the trusted traveler program and agreed to have his eyes and fingerprints scanned. This allows him to speed through security at select airports. Now Clark thinks it's reasonable -- in an era where nobody seems to know who we are anymore -- to be fingerprinted upon accepting employment or filing a tax return. Does this idea creep you out?
