No. The Louisiana Department of Revenue (LDR) cannot disclose the identity of an individual who may have used your child's Social Security number because Louisiana law requires taxpayer information to remain confidential.

If you believe someone fraudulently used your child's Social Security number or claimed your child as a dependent without your permission, you should:

• Contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to report the suspected identity theft or fraudulent dependency claim.

• Notify the Louisiana Department of Revenue if you believe your child's Social Security number was used on a Louisiana tax return.

• Take steps to protect your child's identity, such as placing a fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit reporting agencies if appropriate.

For assistance with a suspected fraudulent Louisiana tax return, contact the Louisiana Department of Revenue's Criminal Investigations Division. Be prepared to provide your child's Social Security number and any information you have regarding the suspected fraud.
