At first blush, it seems highly unlikely that any correspondence from the Internal Revenue Service would bring good news. However, I recently received an IRS letter that, if I did not exactly celebrate, I could in many respects welcome.
It appears the IRS is stepping up its anti-fraud game, taking additional measures to ensure the security of households’ tax returns — not to mention taxpayer dollars. Despite the small inconvenience these measures caused me and perhaps some readers, they should make all of us safer over time.
