Tax resolution attorney John Willis, CEO and founder of IRSALLSTAR tells readers about an increase in standard deductions as well as how tough the IRS is getting on identity thieves.

Fairhope, AL, December 9, 2019: Tax Attorney John Willis, CEO and founder of IRSALLSTAR.com, recently published an article on his website entitled “Thanksgiving Ushered In A Bit Of Good New From The IRS.” Mr. Willis shares the good news first then talks about how the IRS is focusing on identity theft.

“When you get around to filing your 2019 taxes next year,” says Willis, “you’ll have a small gift in the way of an increase in the standard deduction.” He continues adding, “The Internal Revenue Service issued its annual inflation adjustments for dozens of tax items and tax schedules. As a result, married taxpayers who file joint tax returns will see an increase of $400 to $24,800 in tax year 2020, while for single taxpayers and married individuals who file separately, the standard deduction will go up $200 to $12,400. For heads of households, the standard deduction will be $18,650 for tax year 2020, up $300.”

“So, there you have it,” Willis adds, “a small gift from the IRS. That’s just one more thing to add to your list of things you’re thankful for this year.” “But wait,” he writes, “that’s not all.”

According to Willis, “The IRS is really picking up their pace and they are all over identity thieves.” He elaborates, “As a recent article claims, “IRS strikes back as agents make big dent in ID theft.” According to the article, “The IRS stopped nearly 1 million fraudulent refunds from being issued last year. They totaled almost $6.6 billion.”

Willis states, “Identity theft is the number one issue the IRS talks about these days. And as you can see from the above statement, they have good reason to turn laser focus on identity theft.” He points out that, “Personal information is easier to access than ever through social media and other online services, but traditional methods are still providing access.” He goes on to say that, “Hospitals, doctor’s offices, universities and prisons have always been targeted by identity thieves. In effect any business that collects Social Security numbers and birthdates is a great source for criminals who want to steal identities.”
