flag IRS fails to alert parents of children's tax identity theft, leaving kids exposed to fraud.

flag The IRS is failing to notify parents when their children's identities are used for tax fraud, leaving kids vulnerable to identity theft. flag Many children, especially those in foster care, are victims due to a lack of active tax accounts, and the Social Security Administration doesn't check for fraud before issuing new numbers. flag This results in some newborns having bad credit histories. flag Experts suggest reforms like alerting parents and locking minors' credit files, but the government has not taken action.
