What happens when a Chase receives a credit card application that was torn up and then taped backed together? The application also includes a change of address and a cell phone number. You got it. Issue a new card to the new address.

| Proposed IRS changes allow prepares to sell your return |
|
|
Under a new IRS proposal, among the papers you are asked to sign by your tax preparer, could be a consent form that gives them your okay to sell your entire tax return.
Once you give your consent, information from your very private tax return could be sold to third-parties. This may include marketers wanting to sell you something or data brokers looking to profit from selling your tax returns to their customers. This type of use of tax return information is virtually unknown, but could include anything from unwanted marketing to more sinister uses like identity theft.
Send your comments on the proposal to the IRS.
