File Early
Filing early not only offers protection against refund fraud by closing the window of opportunity for a fraudster, but also ensures the shortest turnaround time for return processing and refund issuance.
North Dakota Driver License or State ID for E-filing
This filing season North Dakota, along with many state tax departments, is requesting additional information for electronically filed tax returns. This is an additional effort to combat stolen-identity tax fraud and protect you and your tax refund.
We ask that you provide the requested North Dakota driver license or state-issued identification card information when completing your tax return. Providing this information is voluntary. We will not reject your return if you do not provide the requested driver license or state-issued identification information. However, providing this information may help us to process your tax return more quickly.
Preventative Measures
Our office has put additional preventative measures in place to catch fraudulent filings. This may delay refunds. Please remain patient and use our Where's My Refund? tool to check on the status of your refund. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been working with the state tax departments to combat ID theft and tax fraud. Click here to read more.
If our office has reason to believe that you've been a victim of identity theft through a fraudulent tax return, we will contact you with a letter and recommended actions. You are encouraged to contact the following entities to report the theft of your identity:
Complete our Identity Theft Declaration and return it to our office if you are a victim of identity theft.
Businesses, if you discover that your business has had a data breach go to the Tax Scams & Data Breaches page for information.
