Changed Your Name Here is What you Need to Know
Did you change your name last year?
If you did, it can affect your taxes.
All the names on your tax return must match Social Security Administration records.
A name mismatch can delay your refund.
Here’s what you should know if you changed your name:
• Report Name Changes.
Did you get married and are now using your new spouse’s last name or hyphenated your last name?
Did you divorce and go back to using your former last name?
In either case, you should notify the SSA of your name change.
That way, your new name on your IRS records will match up with your SSA records.
• Dependent Name Change.
Notify the SSA if your dependent had a name change.
For example, this could apply if you adopted a child and the child’s last name changed.
If you adopted a child who does not have a SSN, you may use an Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number on your tax return.
An ATIN is a temporary number.
You can apply for an ATIN by filing Form W-7A, Application for Taxpayer Identification Number for Pending U.S. Adoptions, with the IRS.
You can visit IRS.gov to view, download, print or order the form at any time.
• Get a New Card.
File Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, to notify SSA of your name change. You can get the form on SSA.gov or call 800-772-1213 to order it.
Your new card will show your new name with the same SSN you had before.
• Report Changes in Circumstances in 2015.
If you purchase health insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace you may get advance payments of the premium tax credit in 2015.
If you do, be sure to report changes in circumstances, such as a name change, a new address and a change in your income or family size to your Marketplace throughout the year.
Reporting all changes will help make sure that you get the proper type and amount of financial assistance and will help you avoid getting too much or too little in advance.

Stay Vigilant Against Bogus IRS Phone Calls and Emails
Tax scams take many different forms.
Recently, the most common scams are phone calls and emails from thieves who pretend to be from the IRS.
They use the IRS name, logo or a fake website to try to steal your money. They may try to steal your identity too.
Here are several tips from the IRS to help you avoid being a victim of these tax scams:
The real IRS will not:
• Initiate contact with you by phone, email, text or social media to ask for your personal or financial information.
• Call you and demand immediate payment.
The IRS will not call about taxes you owe without first mailing you a bill.
• Require that you pay your taxes a certain way.
For example, telling you to pay with a prepaid debit card.
Be wary if you get a phone call from someone who claims to be from the IRS and demands that you pay immediately.
Here are some steps you can take to avoid and stop these scams.
If you don’t owe taxes or have no reason to think that you do:
• Contact the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
Use TIGTA’s “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting” web page to report the incident.
• You should also report it to the Federal Trade Commission. Use the “FTC Complaint Assistant” on FTC.gov. Please add “IRS Telephone Scam” to the comments of your report.
If you think you may owe taxes:
• Ask for a call back number and an employee badge number.
• Call the IRS at 800-829-1040. IRS employees can help you.
In most cases, an IRS phishing scam is an unsolicited, bogus email that claims to come from the IRS. They often use fake refunds, phony tax bills, or threats of an audit. Some emails link to sham websites that look real.
The scammers’ goal is to lure victims to give up their personal and financial information. If they get what they’re after, they use it to steal a victim’s money and their identity.
If you get a ‘phishing’ email, the IRS offers this advice:
• Don’t reply to the message.
• Don’t give out your personal or financial information.
• Forward the email to phishing@irs.gov. Then delete it.
• Don’t open any attachments or click on any links. They may have malicious code that will infect your computer.
Stay alert to scams that use the IRS as a lure.
More information on how to report phishing or phone scams is available on IRS.gov.
